Official Club Stuff Stadium and Facility Developments

[The_Wookie]

SANFL is investing more than $14 million on the project, with a further $11 million coming from State and Federal funding and $250,000 from the AFL.

SANFL’s investment in the next generation of South Australian football stars has taken a major step forward with construction starting on its $25.3 million Talent and Community Facility at West Lakes.

The facility, the first of its type for Australian football nationally, will be built adjacent to Football Park on land owned by SANFL and become the high-performance training venue for SANFL’s elite male and female under-16s and under-18s, as well as First Nations and multicultural talent academies.

The facility is a centrepiece in SANFL’s continued efforts to provide the best possible pathways for male and female talent to participate at SANFL or AFL level.

The SANFL Talent and Community Facility – funded by SANFL, the state and federal governments and the AFL – will feature:

• Unisex player changerooms, gymnasium, rehabilitation suites, coaching and education facilities
• Multi-purpose community function centre
• Allied health practice rooms accessible by the community
• New administration offices for SANFL’s Talent Department
• Landscaping and plaza works to support community and sporting events.

Approximately 300 young footballers each year are anticipated to use the facility, which is planned to be completed in November 2025.

The City of Newcastle is calling on the Federal Government to help fund the next stage of the No.1 Sportsgroundredevelopment, aiming to elevate the venue to a standard capable of hosting elite national competitions.

CEO Jeremy Bath said the Council is pursuing $20 million for Stage 2 of the project, which builds upon previous investments to position the ground as a destination for top-tier cricket and AFL matches, including BBL fixtures and first-class men’s and women’s cricket.

“If the venue can meet the expectations of players, fans, and broadcasters — including capacity for up to 15,000 — it could become a second home for the Sydney Sixers in the BBL.”

I'd love to see a Victorian team down the track play away games against the Swans and Giants at Newcastle similar to how North will be in Bunbury.

Newcastle (540k) Woolongong (330k) are the obvious next places that should be hosting an AFL game.

Newcastle (540k) Woolongong (330k) are the obvious next places that should be hosting an AFL game.

I definitely think both cities should receive regular matches.

The base isn't there for either city to have its own AFL club, and neither will anytime soon.

But 3–4 regular season matches a year plus grassroots investment over the next 20 years, and that might start to change.
