Club Umina plans children's play area and memorial

Club Umina in Melbourne Ave has submitted plans to Central Coast Council to build a new children's play area and a memorial at the club.

The project has been estimated to cost $150,000.

The club is located in Melbourne Ave, faces Umina Beach Public School and adjoins the Peninsula Recreational Precinct and playing fields.

A new roof will be constructed over a former outdoor smoking terrace to create a new weather proof children's play area and a new memorial adjacent to the Melbourne Ave frontage.

The club had an al fresco dining area that also provided an area for patrons to smoke but, from July last year, smoking was not permitted in outdoor dining areas in NSW.

"The club is now intending to convert this area to a secure, covered children's play area to attract more patronage from families," according to a statement of environmental effects submitted by Club Innovations on behalf of Club Umina.

The club is also planning to create a memorial adjacent to the entry of the club comprising four sculptures representing army, navy, air force and nursing to honour the men and women of the armed forces.
