A long-standing club has rebranded and revealed plans for a major venue redevelopment.
Club Glass House has officially unveiled its new identity, Glass House Local, to celebrate its its roots and focus on connection, community and hospitality.
The club, which is in the midst of a rejuvenation after a crucial amalgamation with Caboolture Sports Club, is also set to be revamped with improved facilities.
CSC Group CEO Craig Thomas said the rebrand was a significant move.
“Glass House Local represents far more than a name change, it reflects who we are, who we’ve always been, and where we are heading,” he said.
“We wanted to create a brand that truly captures the character of the region and the people who make this place so special. It’s humble, welcoming, connected and full of heart.
“Whether you’re a long-time local, visiting the area or stepping through the doors for the very first time, Glass House Local is a place where everyone belongs.”
The venue has served the region for generations, evolving from the historic Glasshouse Country Bowls Club established in 1936.
Following periods of financial uncertainty in previous years, the venue secured its future through its amalgamation with the not-for-profit CSC Group in 2025, ensuring the preservation of the club and continued investment into the local community.

Since joining CSC Group, the venue has undergone immediate improvements including furniture replacement and carpark lighting with further plans already underway to support the growing needs of the region.
CSC Group has confirmed it is currently formalising plans for a club development, designed to significantly expand the venue’s offerings and community impact.
Proposed plans include expanded dining experiences, entertainment spaces, a children’s playground and improved facilities for the local bowls community.
The planned development is also expected to generate more than 50 additional local jobs and represent an investment of about $15 million.
Glass House Local will continue operating with a strong focus on reinvesting back into the community.
“Community clubs play an incredibly important role in bringing people together,” Mr Thomas said.
“Glass House Local will continue to celebrate connection, local pride and genuine hospitality while creating exciting opportunities for the future of this region.”
