⛳ Interim update: Where do our candidates for the seat of Pakenham stand on Deep Creek Reserve & Supporting Community Led plan for Golf in Pakenham?

Pakenham Golf Club is not aligned with any political party or candidate. Our aim is simple: to build support from across the political spectrum for our plan to secure the future of golf at Deep Creek Reserve.

Every candidate standing for Pakenham has been given the same information about our plan and the same opportunity to meet with us. Some have engaged with it and backed it more than others, and we thank everyone who has taken the time to talk with us.

This is an interim snapshot. We'll keep updating it as more candidates confirm where they stand, so stay.

If you live in the Pakenham electorate, ask your candidates where they stand on Pakenham Golf Club.

There has been an update from council.

Due to probity we can not comment any further on the process.

https://www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/news/update-pakenham-golf-course

Following a detailed evaluation of submissions received through the Pakenham Golf Course Expression of Interest (EOI) process, Cardinia Shire Council is progressing shortlisted proponents to a Request for Proposal (RFP) process.

16/09/2026

Emma Vulin MP can you help us out with an introduction to Anthony Albanese. We hear he likes golf and passing around grants to fix golf courses. We are sure its a vote winner.

Media Release from Pakenham Golf Club Inc.

⛳ WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE FUTURE OF DEEP CREEK RESERVE?

Pakenham Golf Course has now been closed for around 18 months.

And the community is entitled to ask:

Where are we up to?

Here’s the timeline as we understand it.

📅 MARCH 2025
Golf Services Management (GSM) walks away from the Pakenham Golf Course and the course closes.

📅 AUGUST 2025
Pakenham Golf Club representatives meet with Councillors and put forward a pathway to save golf at Deep Creek Reserve.

The message from Council was that the process would be followed — even if that meant the site remained without golf for two years or more.

📅 NOVEMBER 2025
Council resolves to undertake an Expression of Interest process to “test the market” for the future management and use of the site.

But Pakenham Golf Club had already put forward a proposal months earlier.

And Council's own feasibility work subsequently found that golf is viable at Deep Creek, subject to investment and an appropriate management model.

📅 JANUARY–FEBRUARY 2026
Pakenham Golf Club continued trying to find an alternative pathway to get golf operating again.

We asked for Council, the Mayor, the CEO and State Government representatives to sit down together and see whether a solution could be found.

Our local MP even asked us to have Council contact her so everyone could get around the same table.

That meeting never happened.

📅 MARCH 2026
Council finally opens its EOI process.

📅 12 MAY 2026
The EOI closes.

Council's own website confirms the process is now closed.

And then...

JUNE.
JULY.
AUGUST.
SEPTEMBER.

Still no public outcome.

No announced operator.

No announced plan.

No date for when golf might return.

Meanwhile, Council continues maintaining the grass and surrounding areas at the closed golf course. Council itself confirms that the greens, tees, fairways, rough and surrounding grass are being maintained.

So we have some pretty simple questions.

💰 How much ratepayer money has been spent maintaining a closed golf course for around 18 months?

💰 How much has been spent on consultants and the various processes undertaken by Council?

⛳ If Council's own feasibility work says golf is viable, why is the course still closed?

🏛️ If Councillors have publicly indicated they want golf to remain at Deep Creek, what are they doing to make that happen?

And perhaps the biggest question of all:

WHO IS ACTUALLY MAKING THE DECISIONS?

Are elected Councillors directing the future of this community asset?

Or are Councillors simply waiting for Council officers to tell them what the answer is?

Because elected Councillors are the people the community elected to make the decisions.

Not the bureaucracy.

Pakenham Golf Club has put forward a community-led solution.

We have repeatedly tried to engage.

We have put forward options.

We have asked for meetings.

We have asked for a pathway forward.

And we're still here.

18 months after the course closed, the community deserves some answers.

We don't want another process.

We want to know:

WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR DEEP CREEK RESERVE?

And if Council says it wants golf to remain...

WHY ISN'T GOLF BEING SAVED?

⛳ Pakenham Golf Club — fighting for the future of golf at Deep Creek Reserve.

ASK QUESTIONS. DEMAND TRANSPARENCY.
SAVE GOLF AT DEEP CREEK.
