Medway Strategy
The Strategic Plan is designed to do that. It aligns with the “Strategy for Australian Golf,” which aims to make golf more accessible, welcoming, and enjoyable for all Australians. At the same time, it addresses the unique needs and challenges facing Medway Golf Club specifically, considering the feedback of members, our culture, and values.
Strategy Summary
Melbourne Water Sewer Project
The Board has commenced discussions with Melbourne Water as to how the next 24 months will look like in regards to support for the club. The Board will utilize external assistance if required to ensure the club has the best outcome possible due to the impact to the club.
We believe the re-tender process has been completed for ongoing project start date mid 2025. All the current works completed have no impact on the remainder of the works and progress will continue with the amended outcome tunnelling under the river.

Administration and Systems
As per the Strategy above in 2025 we will be moving to some new systems behind the scenes to improve efficiencies.
Xero Financial will replace MPower financials during the year. Amanda is in the office 1 day per week to set up for us with office staff assisting the transition.
Our payroll system will move to Xero Payroll also.
Around July we will move away from MPower membership system and replace with MiClub’s Mi Membership. Members won’t see a lot of change- however it’s a major task and for the best of the club moving forward. There will be a supporting Club App which will be much more user friendly for House act tops up etc. We already use Miclubs website, Miscore App, Golf Competition Management software so a total integration will help us and you moving forward.
The systems are cloud based and easier to use and future HR needs will be easier to recruit staff as they are more widely used than the older Mpower system.
