Member Survey
The Board of Phillip Island Golf Club has the primary responsibility of stewardship and trusteeship on behalf of the members of the Phillip Island Golf Club. This means that we have a responsibility to ensure that the Club remains viable and effective in the present and for the future. We must ensure that the Club has a secure long-term future.
The Board’s job is to create the future – not mind the shop.
It is with this focus that we have been working on establishing the Club’s strategic direction and priorities. We are requesting members’ input in determining strategic goals and direction, so that we can better understand and deliver the needs for the future. The survey was emailed to all members on Friday 6 April.
In creating this strategic plan, the Board is also assessing and evaluating the risks facing the Club. One of the most significant risks our Club faces for its future viability, is the prediction of sea level rises and coastal inundation; a website with more detailed information and mapping is here…>.
Another risk identified by the Board, on scanning the external operating environment, is the possible development of a new championship golf facility on Phillip Island, which would compete with our Club for both green fee players and membership. The objective for such a development is contained in a strategic plan produced by the Bass Coast Shire Council in 2016, called the Phillip Island and San Remo Visitor Economy Strategy 2035 – Growing Tourism.

It is with the above in mind that we are asking members to please complete this survey by Monday April 30 2018, in order for feedback to be assessed and included in the development of our Strategic Plan. If you did not receive an email with the survey, please send an email to manager@pigc.com.au to advise us and we will resend it.
Finally, to address some misinformation which has been circulating at the Club – in the event that the Phillip Island Golf Club became financially non-viable and had to liquidate its assets – the net result, after paying creditors and all debts, would be payable to Golf Victoria – not to Club members.
Many thanks.
PIGC Board.
