Bronte Surf Club & community facilities upgrade
The Bronte and Tamarama Advancement Society objects to the proposed expansion of the Bronte Surf Club building.
Financial Oversight
Redevelopment costs for the Bronte Surf Club have ballooned to $25–30 million, with total commitments for three surf clubs exceeding $60 million of ratepayer funds, prompting calls for cost-effective upgrades instead of a complete rebuild.

Commercialisation Risks
Commercialization Risks: The design includes a second-floor commercial space in an alcohol-free zone, diverting the focus from community use and raising concerns over revenue distribution of alcohol in an alcohol free, family friendly public space
