Breakers Country Club Members Vote In Favour Of Amalgamation With Mounties Group
18 Nov 2021
What a year it has been for Australia's largest registered club, Mounties Group. Having successfully
joined forces earlier this year with both Club Wyong and Halekulani Bowling Club, Mounties Group
looks set to secure their third venue on the Central Coast.
On the evening of Wednesday 17 November, Breakers Country Club members voted in favour of
amalgamating with the club giant.
The vote follows a series of information sessions held over what has been an incredibly long year
as the COVID-19 lockdown interrupted proceedings. Mounties Group CEO, Dale Hunt, presented
his vision for the future and what to expect should the amalgamation be successful back in June.
The team then had to resume these member sessions recently, some four months later, to remind
members of the benefits of amalgamating with Mounties Group.
Breakers Country Club CEO, Ken Pearson, said that he was over the moon with the result and is
excited for what the future holds.
"As a Club, we were looking to secure our long-term future and deliver bigger plans than our
financials allowed and that is why joining the likes of Mounties Group presents us with so much
more opportunity", he said.
"Mounties Group are a powerhouse when it comes to club strategy, financials and community spirit.
Their profit-for-purpose business model was a big draw card for us, and they really prove to be,
time and time again, true to their word", Ken continues.
"Our community demographics have changed and to compete with the rest of the hospitality,
sporting and recreational venues on the Coast we need to do a lot more.
"Aside from better buying power and the obvious staff and member benefits, Mounties Group have
promised an $11 million master plan to improve the venue as well as a $200,000 a year investment
over the next 5 years in the golf course", Ken concludes.
Mounties Group CEO, Dale Hunt is just as pleased with the result and is thrilled at the prospect of
growing the Mounties Group network on the Coast.
"Breakers Country Club is such a fantastic venue with so much potential. Having met the staff and
members over the past year, it is obvious to see how much this venue means to everyone."
Mounties Group financial members will have their say on the 5 December, while Liquor and Gaming
NSW, as the industry regulator, will also need to approve the amalgamation before it is made
official.
