"Tradies are not interested in the deal unless they can ultimately secure the freehold to justify their considerable expenditure on our Club as Planned," club director Warrick Try said in a statement.

However, the sub-branch has upheld they did not want to sell their building so to retain it as a community facility, and began taking expressions of interest from other interested parties.

The sub-branch was contacted for comment but declined to speak publicly until after their next meeting, where the various scenarios moving forward would be voted on.
