The DA reads “Alterations to the South
Sydney Leagues Club building: Proposed works include
extension of the third and fourth floors, provision of balconies along the
eastern facade of the building, and modification of the Chalmers and Douglas
Street facades. Approval is also sought for the future use of the building in
principle – this includes a supermarket on the ground floor, the Leagues and
Football Club on the first floor and use of the second, third and fourth floors
as commercial offices. 191 car spaces are proposed to be provided for these
uses in the basement of the adjoining building.”
The interesting thing is that you may notice that the DA
mentions a supermarket. For some time there’s been talk of Audi taking over the
building that used to be a sheltered workshop. There was even a petition
designed to garner support. Will Audi move into the club? There does seem to be
a need for a reasonably priced supermarket in the area.
