Project Overview

The Country Club Hotel is being built at 90 Gympie Road, Strathpine, opposite Pine Rivers Park. The development has been described as a $50 million project and is expected to open in early 2026, with other material indicating a broader 2026 opening timeframe.

Plans released for the Strathpine site show a wide range of indoor sporting and leisure facilities. These include an arcade, eight bowling lanes, pickleball courts, virtual baseball simulators, karaoke rooms and half-sized basketball courts.

The venue is also planned to include several dining areas and bars, along with both indoor and outdoor seating spaces. Large-screen viewing areas are incorporated into the design, allowing for live sport and event broadcasts within the venue.

Live Music And Outdoor Spaces

An outdoor beer garden forms part of the plans and includes a stage intended for regular live music performances. The venue has been promoted as providing opportunities for local musicians to perform as part of its entertainment offering.

Adjacent Uses On The Site

The Country Club Hotel will sit alongside additional facilities within the same precinct. Plans include a Guzman y Gomez outlet and food precinct, as well as a 6,000 square metre Area 51 indoor play centre.

Material released for the project describes the Area 51 facility as an indoor recreation space designed for families and groups, featuring a range of activities typically associated with large-scale play centres.

Historical Context

The new venue takes its name from the former Country Club Hotel, a long-running Strathpine pub that operated from the late 1950s through to the early 2000s. The earlier hotel was also used as a wedding venue during its years of operation.

An archival photograph of the former Country Club Hotel on Gympie Road, dated to around 1970, is held within a local library collection, reflecting the site’s place in Strathpine’s hospitality history.

What Comes Next



Construction at the Gympie Road site is ongoing. Once completed, the Country Club Hotel is expected to add a new mix of dining, sport, recreation and live entertainment options to Strathpine, contributing to the area’s evolving hospitality landscape.

Situated on a five-hectare site along Gympie Road—directly opposite Pine Rivers Park—the development is expected to open next year and will serve as both a hotel and indoor recreation hub. The large-scale project is being constructed just 500 metres from the site of the original Country Club Hotel, which once stood as a popular local landmark before being demolished in the early 2000s.

First established in the late 1950s, the original Country Club Hotel earned a strong local following as a popular pub and a well-known spot for weddings.

“My first job back in the day was at the old Country Club, working at the liquor barn! The original Country Club Hotel was demolished about 15 to 20 years ago, but it stood for around 20 to 25 years before that. Anyone from the area would know of it. We wanted to honour one of Strathpine’s most beloved past locals, which is why we’ve named the new venue The Country Club Hotel. It really is a full circle moment for me; from stocking shelves at the old Country Club to owning the hotel that commemorates it.”

Site preparation has already begun, with significant earthmoving planned in the coming weeks. The scope of the project includes extensive groundworks to support infrastructure on what is understood to be a flood-prone area. Around 1000 concrete piers will be installed to hold up a suspended car park above the flood line, a task expected to take several months with the help of two specialised piling rigs.

Once completed, the new Country Club Hotel will offer a broad range of attractions, blending traditional pub amenities with family-friendly and active lifestyle features. Plans include indoor and outdoor dining areas, bars, live music spaces, a gaming room, a beer garden, and an arcade. 

In addition, the venue will house modern leisure facilities such as an eight-lane bowling alley, two pickleball courts, two virtual baseball simulators, four karaoke rooms, and a pair of half-sized basketball courts.

Food lovers can also look forward to a steakhouse and an American-style barbecue pit, further enhancing the venue’s appeal as a casual dining and social destination.

Naming the venue after the original hotel, the developers hope to reignite a sense of community nostalgia while delivering a fresh entertainment precinct for locals and visitors alike.
