Petersen Road Sports work on new rugby and touch fields

Settlement Cove Lagoon, a popular swimming club in Redcliffe, is excited to announce an upcoming local swimming event that is sure to make a splash! Hosted by the Moreton Bay Regional Council, in partnership with the Caboolture Sports Club and the Federal and State Governments, this event promises to be a thrilling experience for all swimming enthusiasts.

The event will take place at the stunning Petersen Road Sports Ground in Morayfield, where a brand new rugby union and touch football facility is being constructed. With an impressive budget of $6.15 million, this state-of-the-art facility aims to cater to almost 2,000 local players who currently utilise the existing venue.

The project is a testament to the strong collaboration between the Moreton Bay Regional Council and the Caboolture Sports Club, which already holds leases and permits for various sports venues in the region. The Federal Government has generously contributed $1.5 million to this initiative, while the State Government has provided $1 million, further highlighting their dedication to promoting sports and community engagement.

The new facility will include the demolition of the existing clubhouse, making way for a brand new one that will undoubtedly elevate the sporting experience. Equipped with four multipurpose changerooms, top-notch amenities, a fully-functional kitchen, viewing decks, and tiered seating, this upgraded clubhouse will not only enhance the Caboolture Snakes Rugby Union Club and the Caboolture Touch Association but also contribute to the growth of local sports in general.

Moreover, the project emphasises inclusivity by providing separate changerooms for women, empowering both clubs to increase the participation of female athletes in their respective sports. Settlement Cove Lagoon is delighted to see these initiatives that promote gender equality and create opportunities for young aspiring athletes.

This partnership between the Moreton Bay Regional Council and the Caboolture Sports Club truly showcases their dedication to improving the health and lifestyle of the local community. By investing in impactful projects like this, they are weaving together the social fabric of the region, fostering a strong sense of community and active living.

Settlement Cove Lagoon extends its utmost gratitude to the Moreton Bay Regional Council, the Federal Government, and the State Government for their incredible support in delivering this new facility. They understand the significance of providing top-of-the-line sporting venues that benefit not only the athletes but also the entire community. This project is a shining example of the positive transformation and improvement of lifestyle and sports facilities in the Caboolture and Morayfield area.

So mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable swimming event at Settlement Cove Lagoon.
