Investigations are under way into the cause of a fire which destroyed a building at the Belmont Sports Club overnight.
Firefighters from Belmont and Tingira Heights were called to the Maude Street Club just before 11.00pm on Sunday to find a disused building on the site up in flames.
It’s taken them two-a-and-half hours to extinguish and mop up the fire.
The club was closed in 2018 due to financial trouble.
Lake Macquarie Council has expressed interest in developing the site for seniors housing.
