On 19 June 2024, Hugh Armenis of SV Partners was appointed Voluntary Administrator (Administrator) of Kirribilli Ex-Service Club (Kirribilli Club).
After an initial period of trading in which to urgently assess the status of the Kirribilli Club, it is with regret that a decision has been made that the Kirribilli Club will cease to trade as from today, Monday 24 June 2024.
The Administrator is aware of the significant impact that the closure of the Kirribilli Club will have on staff and members, and also the local community and the clients who have booked events at the venue.
The Kirribilli Club, with over 18,000 members, has been a landmark of Sydney’s north shore since 1946, hosting weddings, functions, and social gatherings for generations of residents and visitors.
The Administrator recognises the emotional and financial hardship that this closure will cause to many people and will work closely with the staff and management of the Kirribilli Club to ensure a smooth and orderly transition, and to assist those affected clients as much as possible.
The SV Partners team will make contact over the coming days with all clients who have booked events at the venue. The patience and cooperation of all stakeholders during this difficult time is greatly appreciated.
The Administrator and SV Partners are also committed to supporting the staff of the Kirribilli Club, who have shown exceptional dedication and professionalism throughout this challenging period. The Administrator would like to again personally thank the staff.
As the matter is ongoing, the Administrator has no further comment at this stage and may make statements from time to time however, all media enquiries can be directed to the SV Partners media team at media@svp.com.au or on 1800 246 801.
