A new Boat Shed was built to house all Sail Boats and safely store Members’ motorized boats and equipment.
Staff Houses were also renovated, and a new store was built together with a staff Ablution Block behind the staff houses.
In 2013, a significant development occurred with the expansion of the Club House Frontage, featuring a patio and terrace, enhancing seating capacity and offering picturesque views of the lakefront.
Additionally, the Bar, Dining Room, and Washrooms underwent renovation and were ready for use in the year 2015. Later in the same year, the club kitchen was fully renovated with tiled walls and the installation of Modern Stainless Steel kitchen equipment.
