After four years of dedicated effort by its committee, the 8.2 million Whitsunday Sportspark facility is reaching a milestone moment, with three levels of government set to attend the building completion and handover ceremony at the Jubilee Pocket location next Friday.
The community facility, which will soon deliver first-class sporting amenities as well as a central Clubhouse to the Whitsunday region, is jointly funded by Local, Federal and State Government and all profits will go straight back into the community.
The new Clubhouse will feature a 120-seater bistro dining area which will be open seven days a week.
There will also be a sports bar with TAB and big screens as well as an outdoor terrace overlooking the AFL field.
Adjacent to this is the Pokie Room intended to house 46 machines.
The Sportspark is ultimately owned by the five not-for-profit sporting clubs that call the Whitsunday Sportspark home.
These include AFL, Netball, Rugby Union, Soccer and Touch Football.
The Sportspark will operate the Clubhouse and all profits are directed back into the facility and the community it serves.
Every customer will be eligible for a membership card and each purchase will enable them to accrue points which can be nominated to their favourite sporting or community club anywhere in the Whitsundays and transferred to a dollar sum that will assist the sporting group.
“We look forward to celebrating this milestone on our march towards the opening of a top-class sports and community hospitality club to benefit our growing town and shire,” said Chairman of Whitsunday Sportspark Justin Butler.
The official opening of the facility to the public is expected to take place this July.
