Construction of the new $6 million dollar Everleigh clubhouse and café is kicking on with new images showing the progress as the anticipated completion date of mid-2024 nears.
The new clubhouse, which will be used by the Greenbank Giants and community groups, will feature two buildings, with two sets of unisex change rooms to cater for multiple back-to-back games, unisex umpire rooms, a club room and public toilets.
It will also include a 130sqm café tenancy with a full kitchen, which will be offered to a commercial operator to manage seven days a week.
The Everleigh Sports Park Clubhouse has been fast-tracked through a partnership between Mirvac, Logan City Council, State Government and AFL Queensland.
Mirvac General Manager Residential Queensland Warwick Bible says the partnership enables the facility to come to fruition years earlier than anticipated.
“The plans are the result of years of work behind the scenes with Council, State Government and AFL Queensland and we’re excited to now start working on bringing the clubhouse to life,” he says.
“Our focus is on delivering a facility our community can be proud of and that supports new opportunities for people in this area to get active and enjoy the social interaction that goes hand-in-hand with sport.
Division 11 Councillor Natalie Willcocks says the clubhouse will become a key feature of the new grounds for residents.
“Nothing brings a community together quite like sport, and I look forward to supporting our local AFL teams and connecting with the community at the Everleigh Sports Park Clubhouse once it is completed,” she says.
Head of AFL Queensland Trisha Squires says her team is proud to have contributed to the facility through the AFL Grand Final Facilities Fund.
“We’ve continued to see huge increase in Aussie Rules’ participation across Queensland, with the region surrounding the Everleigh facility booming, with almost 100 Auskick registrations, and Park Ridge’s Juniors seeing a 63 per cent growth since 2022,” she says.
“With the new field and the clubhouse, we’re excited to see Everleigh as a place for the community to gather, activate, and play our sport.”
