Sports club hopes for home improvement MEMBERS of Bonbeach YCW Junior Football Netball Club are hoping to see their home ground upgraded soon. Kingston councillors approved the Bonbeach Sports Reserve master plan at their October meeting, and will now start to advocate for funding from other levels of government to bring the plan to life. Bonbeach YCW JFNC plays at the reserve. The club’s liaison Paul Cleaver said “we are now seeing a very exciting masterplan and with the support of the state and federal governments the future of the club is looking ex-
tremely promising.” “Bonbeach YCW are very proud of our 75 years history in organising sports for our junior children. Over the last 10 years we have seen a huge growth in our membership with netball, cricket and football to the point we are now seeing over 1,000 members in these combined sports. This year we are very proud to see our first under 12’s girls cricket team, adding to the growing list of female sporting teams including the female football teams which commenced in 2018,” he said. “With the recent COVID-19
restrictions, we have learnt the importance of getting our kids involved in exercise, sport, and community gatherings. The Bonbeach YCW sports club does play a vital role in supplying these activities for the children of our community.” The biggest expense in the master plan is a new $7 million pavilion. The total cost of the master plan is $14.4 million over the next five years. Council is seeking a $5 million contribution from the state government over the next five years. Brodie Cowburn
