🤠 EXCITING UPDATE FROM THE GROUNDZ!

We’re excited to share that Illawarra Country Bootscooters is planning to make The Groundz its new home!

Led by Maddison Glover, this much-loved local business has been bringing people together through line dancing for more than 30 years.

The proposed move into the former TAB Room, to be known as “The Barn”, is an exciting opportunity to welcome a vibrant community and a new year-round activity to The Groundz.

The Development Application has now been lodged with Wollongong City Council, with the move subject to approval.
