Electrical Check for Motorised Buggies

This notice was emailed to Members with a buggy shed, on Wednesday 18 December 2024. If you have not received, please check your email Spam folder.

As communicated via email in 2023, please be aware of the following conditions regarding motorised golf buggy insurance.

Motorised Golf Buggies – insurance for motorised buggies stored at Burleigh Golf Club has been obtained for 2025 however, this is limited to only whilst the buggy is located at Burleigh Golf Club. There are a number of risk minimisation requirements that must now be undertaken to ensure coverage is in effect. One requirement is for the club to ensure that an electrical check of the buggy is undertaken annually for every buggy stored at the club, and we will be organising this on behalf of members commencing in February 2025. The electrical safety checks will be undertaken by Gary Hearne, who already services many of the Members’ buggies.  If you can provide documentation confirming that your buggy was serviced in the last 6 months and that it includes evidence of a satisfactory electrical inspection, then please provide this to the Club administration prior to 1 March 2025. A $50 discount on the shed rental fee for 2025/26 will then be credited to you. If this electrical check is not able to be provided, the Club will have the buggy electrical check undertaken on your behalf and this will include the provision of a report to both the Club and member. The buggy storage fee for 2025/26, payable in June 2025, will be determined in the new year.

It should be noted that 100% compliance in the buggy electrical check is a requirement for insurance coverage, so we trust you understand why the Club is taking this action on your behalf.
