By the 1990s the pub was owned by Grand Metropolitan but it looks like the Brookdale only lasted until the mid-2000s, as it was closed and up for sale in 2010.

It's so sad to see a pub or any business go out of business. It does represent a great opportunity for new people to do something fun with the place. I hope this pub and other pubs get new life in them. http://www.jphotels.com.au
