The Lesmurdie Club

Welcome to The Lesmurdie Club, a warm and inviting venue nestled in the Perth hills in Walliston. Our journey began in the late 1950s when Italian orchardists and timber workers came together at the old Lesmurdie Sawmill on Canning Road play bocce and foster community connections. After sawmilling operations relocated to Pickering Brook in 1962, it was decided to create a club at the old site, resulting in the name Lesmurdie Agricultural Club, which embodies our mission as a social hub for the local community.

​

​The Club started at Canning Road with a temporary permit, receiving its official license in December 1963. After 14 years of financial struggles, it was decided in 1975 to purchase the 1.5 acre current site on Boronia Road. This led to the establishment of the Lesmurdie Club, 

​

With the help of 120 members who all helped construct the Club's building, the Lesmurdie Club officially opened its doors in 1977. It was an immediate success and membership increased dramatically. The Club was incorporated as Lesmurdie Club Inc in May 1981.

Extensive renovations were carried out in 1985, with the addition of a larger function room and extension of the main bar. 

A major redevelopment of the site was started in 1991 with a new building to be built over the top of the old building before the old building was demolished. This $550,000 project was completed in January 1995 with the completion of the Boronia Room function centre, new car parks and kitchen.

A major upgrade of the Sports Bar was completed in 1999 and extensions to the outdoor areas in 2003.

Lesmurdie Club has secured adjoining land to expand its amenities and facilities in its ongoing commitment to maintain its reputation as “The Ultimate Hills Social Club”.

The Club logo was designed by Club stalwart Mary Hutchison in 1988. It depicts a sawmill blade, representing the original site; a fruit tree, representing the surrounding orchards; and the Italian flag for the Italian roots the Club proudly bears.
