The Ryde Eastwood Leagues Club headquarters

Ryde Eastwood Leagues Club has lodged an application to redevelop 10 homes near its West Ryde headquarters as seniors’ housing that would include changes to allowed building heights.

The Club recorded a profit of $22M this year after selling its Eastwood restaurant and three adjoining properties and general manager Chris McCarthy recently told members the property redevelopment would help to create new revenue streams.
