Kwinana Club Development

Active Kids grants are intended to assist clubs and organisations to support and encourage young Australians, aged 20 or under, to improve their physical and mental health by increasing their participation in sport. In some cases, clubs can apply for up-to $10,000 for new equipment and uniforms. Visit the link for more.

Finally! The construction of the City's newest facility, Ngook Boorn Mia-Mia/Honeywood Pavilion and Oval, is almost complete. The building is expected to be open in October 2022. From now until Friday 16th September 2022, your club or community group can apply to be a seasonal tenant of the new facility by completing the Registration of Interest process.

The pavilion/mia-mia is being built on the south-west corner of Honeywood Oval, adjacent to Honeywood Primary School. The oval is shared with Honeywood Primary School who have exclusive access during normal school hours (8am to 4pm). The reserve, cricket nets and adjacent playground facility are well used by the community outside of these hours not only because of its quality green space but because it is an important open space for health, connection and social wellbeing. The oval is a hub for activity each week, and is home to regular community events such as the the Local Honeywood Farmers Market.

The City encourages all applicants to consider the mixed used of the site and to look for opportunities for partnerships or concurrent use.

It has come to the City's attention that there is a lack of smoking signage across some City facilities used for sport. Therefore the Healthy Lifestyles Team, are currently undertaking an Audit at all venues to determine whether new signage needs to be installed. Whilst this is rolling out over the next month, we have designated portable metal A-frame signs for each club to use as they see fit. The signage could be put between dug outs or interchange benches, or places that don't necessarily have hard infrastructure to bolt a sign too. The A-frame sign will be lent to your club for the season and it will be your responsibility to store when not in use. Please contact Jessie.Burke@kwinana.wa.gov.au to organize the pick up of your sign from the City's admin building.

To those that are new here - WELCOME, our Club Development page is now LIVE!

Thank you to all that have registered so far! I am very excited that we now have our own dedicated space to communicate together.

Each club must de-activate their alarm upon arrival to their facility. This should be number one priority BEFORE unlocking other doors or storage spaces. From when you enter the building you have 60 seconds to de-activate the alarm, and if the alarm goes off you have a further 30 seconds to deactivate before a notification will be sent to security. Unnecessary security call outs can incur a $105 club charge, so please ensure your club people are familiar with the arm code and procedure at your facility. Same goes with locking up your facility at the end of use, please ensure all doors are closed/locked and lights are off. If you share the facility, ensure you communicate with the other club/users that you are leaving.
