Settlement Cove Lagoon, the prominent Swimming club in Redcliffe, is thrilled to see the Moreton Bay Region's commitment to enhancing sporting infrastructures in the area. With the recent approval of $23.6 million worth of works for a brand-new BMX racetrack and Football Centre of Excellence at Brendale, the local sports scene is set to reach greater heights.
The upcoming BMX racetrack at Nolan Park aims to make history by producing Australia's first-ever gold medallist in the discipline. The construction of this state-of-the-art facility is nearing completion, with the clubhouse scheduled to be finished by June 2022. Excitement is in the air as enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the completion of the track, set to become a focal point for BMX enthusiasts and athletes.
Equally noteworthy is the development of a $22 million football Centre of Excellence, which will serve as the new home for the Brisbane Roar's junior academy and women's team. This remarkable facility is expected to be completed just in time for the highly anticipated 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, co-hosted by Australia. The centre has already caught the attention of FIFA, with talks about potentially hosting an international team. Construction for this state-of-the-art facility will commence in January 2022, aiming for completion by late July 2023.
The realisation of these projects would not have been possible without the generous funding from the State and Federal Governments. Settlement Cove Lagoon applauds their dedication to providing top-notch sporting facilities and fostering a thriving sports culture within the community.
As an active participant in the local sports scene, Settlement Cove Lagoon invites all swimming enthusiasts to join us in celebrating these milestones. Come witness the growth and development of our region's sporting landscape and be part of the thriving sports culture that continues to flourish in the Moreton Bay Region.
