Waterford Demons Rugby League Football Club is set to become more dominant on the field, as construction starts on the club’s new facility.
The $1.8 upgrade of facilities at Noffke Farm Park, in Meadowbrook is jointly funded by Logan City Council and the Queensland Government.
The new clubhouse includes a clubroom, a gymnasium, a canteen, an office and spectator facilities.
City of Logan Mayor Darren Power says the recent 2021 City of Logan Sports Awards highlighted how local sport is thriving at both elite and recreational levels.
“Our athletes continue to succeed on local, national and international stages.
“Facilities like those we are building for the Waterford Demons help provide opportunities for youngsters to become the sporting superstars of tomorrow while also providing a wonderful training and competition venue for recreational athletes.”
Division 6 Councillor Tony Hall says new facilities would help Waterford Demons build on their existing base as a strong, competitive and growing club.
“With more than 700 members, I can’t wait to see the Demons reach another level of success as they benefit from these new facilities.”
Waterford MP Shannon Fentiman says the new facility would encourage community sport.
“Right across the state we are building facilities that encourage greater participation in sport, especially among girls, who now have clear development pathways and female-only teams from the junior ranks right through to elite level.
“The current Demon’s clubhouse, gym and amenities will be demolished to make way for a brand-new set-up that makes the playing, refereeing and volunteering experience better for everyone.”
The new clubhouse is expected to be complete in mid-2022, weather permitting.
