Work set to start on new clubhouse project

Construction will soon begin on new clubhouse facilities at Caboolture Rugby League Club.  

The new clubhouse will replace the Caboolture Snakes’ ageing headquarters, benefiting the 2000 players and spectators who use the grounds. City of Moreton Bay Council has also awarded a tender for construction. Mayor Peter Flannery said the $14.5 million project was significant, with works over two stages to transform the community sports facility. 

“Our residents absolutely love rugby league and the new clubhouse facilities will make rugby league in Caboolture more enjoyable and accessible for everyone, helping grow participation in this popular local sport,” he said. “The project includes upgrading of infrastructure, including water and sewer infrastructure, which will benefit co-located clubs and enable future expansion of the precinct to further facilitate a whole-community approach to local sport.” 

Mayor Flannery said the upgrade would also benefit other sporting groups, including the table tennis club and local boxing club.  

“The new facility will also be more inclusive, with a host of features that allow people with disability to stay in the game including accessible public amenities, seating, kitchen facilities and scoring booth,” he said. “We look forward to construction getting underway on this highly anticipated clubhouse project.” 

Delivered in two stages, the project will deliver a host of new facilities including club offices, change rooms, public amenities, kitchen, canteen and tiered outdoor seating for spectators. The project will benefit from $3 million in funding from the federal government through its Investing in Our Communities (IiOC) program. 

Division 3 Councillor Adam Hain said the redevelopment of the Caboolture Snakes’ ageing facilities would be a game-changer for the community.  

“I am so excited about this project after a decade of hard work from our staff, past and present club committees, this major upgrade is set to come to fruition and ignite huge excitement around rugby league in Caboolture,” Cr Hain said. “The new facilities will benefit the players who use the grounds and also provide a better game day experience for spectators. 

“This significant project will transform this community sports facility, with the construction of fully accessible change rooms to ensure our female teams are better catered for, club offices, canteen and gym area.”  

Stage 1 of the Caboolture Rugby League Clubhouse project is due for completion in early 2027, while Stage 2 is expected to be finished in mid-2028, weather permitting.
