Central Coast Football Commits $1.1 Million To Better Facilities for Local Players
Central Coast Football (CCF) has just announced their commitment to investing more than $1.1 million over the next five years to upgrade community football facilities. This follows the approval of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Central Coast Football and Central Coast Council.
We are pleased to share that Central Coast Football has partnered with Solutions+ to support the delivery of these works.
As Central Coast Football’s Strategic Facilities Partner, we will be delivering upgrades that will deliver better playing surfaces and amenities to support the Coast’s largest participation sport.
“Football families deserve safe, reliable and modern facilities that can keep up with our growing game,” said CCF CEO Alex Burgin.
“Every season, thousands of footballers miss out because our fields simply can’t cope with heavy rain. On average, more than 1,500 games are lost each year to washouts – that’s hundreds of hours of kids and families sitting at home instead of playing the sport they love.”
Works will focus on long-term field sustainability, including drainage, turf management and surface rehabilitation programs. This investment back into community fields means safer fields, fewer washed out games, and greater access to these facilities for a growing number of players year-round.
“This commitment is about giving players and clubs the fields they need to thrive,” Mr Burgin said.
“We’re grateful for Council’s support in approving the partnership, and proud that football is driving these investments for the benefit of the whole community.”
The announcement took place at Ourimbah Soccer Fields with Central Coast Council Mayor Lawrie McKinna and CCF CEO Alex Burgin.
