For locals, it was simply known as the Glassie. Now, one of the Glass House Mountains region’s most recognisable community venues has a new name to match its new chapter.

Caboolture Sports Club Group has officially rebranded the former Club Glass House as Glass House Local, marking a fresh start for a venue with deep roots in the hinterland community.
The name change follows CSC Group’s amalgamation with the club in 2025, a move that secured the venue’s future after periods of financial uncertainty. For a venue that traces its origins back to the Glasshouse Country Bowls Club, established in 1936, it marks a significant moment in the venue’s long history.
CSC Group chief executive Craig Thomas said Glass House Local was about far more than a name change, describing it as a reflection of who they are, who they have always been, and where they are heading. He said the aim was to create a brand that captures the character of the region and the people who make it special, one that is humble, welcoming, connected and full of heart.
The venue’s social media captured the spirit of the rebrand simply: same friendly faces, bright new look.
The rebrand is not the only thing that has changed at the venue. Since joining the CSC Group family, Glass House Local has already seen improvements including new furniture and upgraded carpark lighting. But the bigger news is what is still to come.
Plans are being formalised for a $15 million expansion of the site, which will include expanded dining options, new entertainment facilities, a children’s playground and improved amenities for the club’s bowlers. The development is expected to create more than 50 new jobs in the local area.
The investment is consistent with how CSC Group operates across its venues. As a not-for-profit organisation, the group reinvests its revenue back into the communities it serves. Over the past five years, CSC Group has directed more than $12 million toward community initiatives.

In the meantime, there is plenty to look forward to at Glass House Local beyond the bricks and mortar. The venue has launched its Love Our Locals Swipe and Win promotion, running from 21 May to 19 July, with more than 250 prizes on offer valued at over $3,400.
The Glassie may have a new name, but the community spirit that has defined it since 1936 has not gone anywhere. As the club put it on the day of the official unveiling: “Open to all. Connected to place. Full of friendly faces.”
