Councillor Cameron Walters will put forward a plan to Wollongong City Council next Monday, to allow a licensed "beach club" trial at North Beach over summer.

Destination Wollongong Special Projects Manager Jeremy Wilshire said it would be a unique selling point to tourists as there weren't many beach clubs around Australia, and believed they brought an "extra layer of sophistication".

"The [Moseley Beach Club at Glenelg] example is a great example in case of light weight infrastructure, a small foot print and limited seating on a trial basis," Mr Wilshire said.

"We're keen to explore the concept of a bespoke beach café for, say, up to 100 people for a limited period - perhaps over the summer school holidays - that enriches our beach experience.

"There are obviously operational and environmental aspects to be considered, but if it's done the right way, it could showcase our coastal lifestyle without adversely impacting on residents."

Exactly how the new beach club would work is yet to be determined, with Cr Walters signalling the logistics would be finalised once detailed reports came back to council.

He said he did not envisage the club taking up the entire public beach but rather a small roped off section which may either be run by an existing stakeholder (like Diggies or North Kiosk), an independent entity or by council.

"They gave these all over Europe but there not free so it will be costly for young families - or is that the idea exclusive people only without children?" wrote Irma Facey.

"Go to a pub if you must drink but leave the beach just as it is," posted Andrew Crichton.

"Go to a pub if you must drink but leave the beach just as it is," said Jenae Louise Johnston.

Cr Walters' notice of motion will be debated at Monday's meeting with further investigation into economic and environmental impact to be conducted if the motion is passed.
