- Office space
- Full kitchen with modern appliances
- Multi-purpose social space
- Deck with views over the existing lawns

The new energy efficient facility will provide a permanent home for the Wonthaggi Croquet Club, who have been operating from a small portable building for many years. Club members and guests will be able to continue with their competitions and practice throughout the construction,
