Queensland Cricket, through its administration of the Australian Cricket Infrastructure Fund (ACIF), is proud to celebrate the recent completion and official opening of four outstanding community cricket net facilities across Queensland. These projects represent a significant investment in grassroots cricket and are a testament to the power of collaboration between clubs, local government, and funding partners.
Australian Cricket Infrastructure Fund Supports Vital Net Facility Upgrades Across Brisbane
New and Upgraded Facilities Now Open:
- Heathwood Park – A brand-new three-lane net facility now serves the Brisbane Super Kings Cricket Club, providing a high-quality training space for players of all ages and skill levels.
- CJ Greenfield Net Complex Upgrade – The Wolston Park Centenary Cricket Club now boasts enhanced training infrastructure, supporting the club’s growing junior and senior programs.
- West End State School – A new pitch and net facility has been delivered in partnership with the South Junior Cricket Club, creating a vibrant hub for school and community cricket in the inner south.
- Bellbowrie Sports & Community Club – The Moggill Cricket Club has welcomed new nets, offering a much-needed boost to training capacity and player development in the western suburbs.
These projects have been made possible thanks to the generous support of the Australian Cricket Infrastructure Fund, the Brisbane City Council Lord Mayor’s Better Suburbs Grants, the Queensland Government’s Gambling Community Benefit Fund, and significant contributions from the clubs and schools, themselves—both financial and in-kind. The involvement of local businesses and community members has also played a crucial role in bringing these facilities to life.
Tom Gibson, State Infrastructure Manager at Queensland Cricket, commended the clubs for their commitment and perseverance:
“These projects take a tremendous amount of planning, coordination, and community spirit. The applicants involved should be incredibly proud of what they’ve achieved—not just for their members, but for the broader cricket community. These facilities will serve as a foundation for participation, development, and enjoyment for years to come. We’re also grateful for the continued investment from Brisbane City Council and other partners who share our vision for growing the game.”
These new and upgraded facilities are already being enjoyed by players, coaches, and families, and will play a vital role in supporting the next generation of Queensland cricketers.
