The proposed facility, designed by architects at Mode, promises to elevate the sporting experience for the local community and beyond.
Set to replace the existing clubhouse at 119 Francis Road, the new structure is poised to become the beating heart of netball activities in the area. With its strategic central location, the clubhouse will serve as a hub for the existing playing courts while maintaining the area’s low-density character.
The design boasts an impressive array of features tailored to meet the needs of players, officials, and spectators alike. Change rooms equipped with toilets and showers will provide comfort and convenience for athletes, while a dedicated timekeeper’s office and medical room ensure smooth game operations and player safety.
Spectators haven’t been forgotten in this thoughtful design. A club room and canteen will offer refreshments and a place to socialise, complemented by an external covered deck with seating. For those who prefer a closer view of the action, a tiered seating area will provide prime vantage points to cheer on their favourite teams.
The development goes beyond just the clubhouse itself. Plans include an extension to the existing car park, adding 74 new spaces, four accessible parking spots, and an ambulance bay, ensuring ample parking for events and emergencies. The landscaping around the facility will create an inviting atmosphere, with a barbecue area perfect for post-game celebrations or community gatherings.
Planners have emphasised the regional significance of this project, stating that it will “provide sporting and recreational infrastructure to support the growing residential population within the southern extent of the City of Moreton Bay area.” This forward-thinking approach underscores the importance of investing in community facilities that promote active lifestyles and social cohesion.
As the proposal moves through the approval process, netball enthusiasts and community members alike are eagerly anticipating the positive impact this new clubhouse will have on local sports culture.
