"This is an exciting development for the South Coast and such a large investment will have a significant flow on effect in the community, creating more jobs within the Resort and supporting local industry and trades with the planned infrastructure development," Stuart Riddell said. 


"McCracken Country Club has seen strong growth in occupancy rates and casual green golf bookings since COVID hit back in March and this recent announcement is only going to enhance the resort's offering.
