Your feedback helped shape the design and informed our Development Application (DA206/0489).

The DA was open for comment from 11 May to 8 June 2026 and is being assessed by the independent Local Planning Panel.

The updated designs provide for:

• a cafe
• water sport facilities
• Narrabeen Sailing Club boat storage and facilities
• storage for model boats and dragon boats
• a meeting room
• public amenities at the rear of the building.

We're committed to delivering this project. Subject to DA approval we anticipate commencing construction works in late 2027 for completion 12 months later in 2028.

We will keep you updated on our progress. Click +Follow at the top of the page to stay informed.

Thank you for your continued support and patience.

Stage 1 - Gathering your ideas

We initially consulted with you between 16 August and 12 September 2022 about what you would like to see on the site and what the design should include so that it meets the needs of the community.

We received a high level of interest in the project and heard a wide range of suggestions and ideas including:

• increased boat and equipment storage
• a multipurpose indoor space
• balcony or veranda for lake views
• separate amenities for sports clubs and the public
• a kiosk or café with a kitchen
• a home for the sailing club
• facilities for water sports
• improved access to the water from the building.

Feedback informed a list of preferred facilities / amenities to be included in the design brief for the consultants to produce concept plans.

Stage 2 - Concept design

Stage 2 consultation on the concept plans took place from 3 April to 12 May 2024.

89% of people who gave feedback either fully supported the design or supported it with some suggested changes.

Many people (44% of responses) liked the overall design but had some suggestions to make it even better. They asked us to:

• make sure we protect the park's natural beauty and open spaces
• think carefully about whether a café is needed and how it might affect local shops
• design the building to be environmentally friendly and able to handle floods
• look at parking and traffic flow
• improve the public facilities.
