Crackerjack - Other Change Planning Report

7.   Summary

This application is not just about financial sustainability—it is about preserving an inclusive, family-
friendly community asset while ensuring that the club can continue to provide a high-quality
recreational experience without resorting to gambling-based revenue streams.

         ✅ It is a carefully measured, policy-compliant proposal that balances recreation,
         community engagement, and financial stability.
         ✅ It directly responds to Council’s concerns regarding noise and amenity, ensuring
         improved residential compatibility through thoughtful site planning.
         ✅ It is a sustainable model that protects Cooroy’s last remaining bowls club from
         economic failure.
         ✅ It is an ethical alternative to gaming-dependent club operations while maintaining the
         site’s primary recreational function.

Council’s approval is essential to securing the future of this venue and ensuring it remains a viable,
community-focused facility for generations to come.

Approval is therefore sought, subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
