The origins of the club can be traced back to 1983 when it was established for building tradesmen and their families through the support of unions in the building industry.
Known originally as the Building Workers Club it grew very quickly and often had a waiting list of people keen to join.
There have been ongoing renovations and alterations to the premises to maintain and enhance member services over the years.

Today, it certainly is a testament to its humble beginnings and the benefits it has made to the surrounding community in the Mt Druitt area.
It has been the vision at West Tradies to provide members, their family and friends of all ages and the community with a modern venue that provides
the best hospitality and entertainment facilities.
Looking at the Club today, it is evident this vision has been achievedand its new design and eatery facilities has produced a venue of excellence that now provides
the community and Sub Clubs with unexcelled amenities.
A vision has now turned into a reality.

‘The core architecture of Allied Solutions Management Training drew my interest.
The pre planning and structure of implementing change initiatives and creating operational efficiencies across all areas of the club was impressive.
Transformation from task to performance was made seamless as we negotiated through the Covid challenges in an ever-changing external environment.
With specialist experience from Allied Solutions in strategic, organisation design, leadership behaviour and process reengineering was made easy and
I knew our Managers and Team Leaders were in good handsas outcomes were clearly defined and achieved’. |

‘Although I have years of experience as a Manager, I found the information and guidance provided during the 12-month training beneficial.
The course gave practical suggestions that managers and team leaders could implement immediately. It gave me a better understanding and guide
on how communication flows and its impact on different personality types when conveyed. This created a sense of shared accountability for the
team to connect, as collaboration between us as leaders became the key to the managing our staff’. |
