Members of the Melville Bowling Club say they refuse to move from their current clubhouse to make way for a controversial artificial wave park.

The proposed wave park was announced in 2016 and has already contended with environmental protests and a Supreme Court challenge.

The 60-year-old bowling club has been told it needs to relocate – roughly 300m to the east – to make way for the development.

Video The Supreme Court has ruled a lease for a controversial wave park, ruling that the lease is valid.

But members say that move won’t happen without a fight.

“We’re not moving,” club president Tim Smith said.

“We're not against wave parks per se, but this is not the appropriate location for a facility that has a footprint 2.25 times bigger than the MCG.”

Members claim the City of Melville promised the same facilities they currently have - four greens and a licensed clubhouse.

“It was a reasonable offer but ever since it was announced, it’s been diluted ... basically to the point we get nothing,” Mr Smith said.

“We’d get nothing over (at the new location).

“The clubroom we’ve been offered is a portion of a hall, but if that hall is booked out, you don’t have access to it.”

Club member Mel Randell said the playing space would also be an issue.

“This is where my home is,” Mr Randell said.

“I’ve been there for 33 years and I’ve won championships here and going over there would be totally foreign to me.”

In a statement, the City said it was disappointed with the club’s position on the development and would welcome further discussions.

The statement said the project will still progress regardless.

“If it comes to it there'll be public protest, we'll be going along the lines of the Moora College public rallies to bring it to the attention of the wider Perth community,” Mr Smith said.

“We just won’t go.”
