excitING IMPROVEMENTS UNDERWAY
We are excited to share that The Spinnaker is undergoing a planned, staged redevelopment from April to early November 2026, designed to enhance your overall experience and ensure our venue continues to evolve for the future. This project will be completed in carefully managed stages, with clear communication provided along the way. This staged approach allows us to keep key services operating while delivering significant improvements to the gaming, café, amenities and lift facilities. While some areas will temporarily close during certain periods, The Spinnaker will remain open and operational throughout the redevelopment. We will regularly update members on confirmed completion dates, entry and exit changes, temporary closures and which areas remain open during each stage.
At times, members and guests may need to walk around certain work areas to access facilities. We appreciate your patience during this time and will continue working to make access as easy as possible and reduce these distances as construction progresses.
This is a temporary disruption for a long-term improvement and we couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead for our venue and our community.
STAGE 1
Stage 1 saw the successful completion of upgrades to our reception area and playground. These improvements have enhanced the arrival experience for members and created an even more welcoming and family-friendly environment.
We appreciate your support during this stage and are thrilled with the outcome.

stage 2a
Gaming Room Upgrades
The gaming room redevelopment will be completed in two stages to allow part of the area to remain operational during construction. Works will begin alongside the café redevelopment with the first half of the gaming room, followed by the second half in the next stage. During this period, a reduced number of gaming machines will remain available, ensuring the space continues to operate while improvements are completed. Once complete, the gaming room will be extended and upgraded, allowing for additional gaming machines and a more spacious layout. The refreshed design will create a more inviting and cosy atmosphere, improving comfort and flow throughout the space.

stage 2a
Café Redevelopment and Lift Demolition
The next stage of works will begin in the café area later in April, the current space will undergo demolition and redevelopment. Once complete, the new café will feature a more welcoming and modern look, with comfortable areas designed for members and guests to sit down, relax and take a moment while enjoying a coffee or light bite. During this time, the café will temporarily relocate to the Bistro, along with Keno services, so members and guests can continue enjoying these services while improvements are underway.
This stage will include the demolition of the existing lift and installation of a brand-new lift, which is expected to take approximately six months to complete due to the extensive work involved.
stage 2b
Next Stage – Kitchen & Bistro Redevelopment
The next stage of Stage 2 will focus on the dining area, including the kitchen and bistro. This redevelopment will give the bistro a complete facelift, transforming the space into a lighter, brighter and more appealing dining environment for members and guests to enjoy. During this phase, the kitchen and bistro will temporarily close for a period of time while redevelopment works are carried out. We understand this may impact normal operations, and we will provide members and guests with updates on the timeline and any temporary changes to services as soon as more details are confirmed. Our team will do their best to keep everyone informed and minimise disruption wherever possible.
