The landmark five-year $4.3 million agreement was signed off by Council recently and will see a contribution of $500,000 by the Council annually over the period, backed by a minimum $360,000 by Sportos each year.
The innovation has been described by Economic Development Spokesperson, Councillor Peter Flannery as monumental and the move is set to bring some of South-East Queensland’s best sports facilities to the region. He added:
“This rolling $4.3 million fund will provide for the future construction of new sports facilities and infrastructure upgrades right around Moreton Bay, which is a massive investment in the health and livability of our region.”
The Caboolture Sports Club, founded in 1994, is a not-for-profit organisation made up of sporting groups representing rugby union, soccer, dog obedience, cricket, touch football and softball. Flyer printing has often assisted in advertising fixtures at many sporting venues across the region.
According to Councillor Adam Hain, the club has also grown to become one of the area’s key social and economic contributors. The latest arrangement will provide the region with an opportunity to attract national and state sporting competitions and make the area a key sports destination.
