UQFC

ARE YOU HAPPY WITH OUR JUNIOR CLUBHOUSE & FACILITIES?

Or are you playing away fixtures at other clubs and asking yourselves WHY the largest Community Club in Qld has the very worst facilities. The simple answer is that we have overwhelmingly outgrown the Clubhouse and the old building itself whilst already failing to meet our current needs, contains asbestos and cannot be easily modified. Each weekend 105 Junior Teams are forced to use two small changing rooms lacking showering or toilet facilities, over 1,300 + visiting parents and players have to share 4 toilets and a modified store cupboard serves as a referee’s room for 3 match officials. We can offer no disabled facilities nor any disabled access. Over 30% of our current members are female yet we have ZERO female changing facilities. We already lease 3 x external training grounds and with a waiting list of already 200+ for Season 2020, it is a heartbreaking fact that every year, we are forced to turn children away due to insufficient field space. It is now time for YOU as UQFC members to make sure that your comments & views are heard and that the needs of the UQFC Community reach Council whilst the draft precinct plan for Cubberla Creek Reserve is still open for feedback. We need your help so PLEASE take 3 minutes to complete the very simple survey and add your comments here :https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/5193867/CCCH-feedback

The Junior Committee cannot do this without your support.

CUBBERLA CREEK // Sports & Recreation Precinct Plan
Sunday 20 October 10.30 - 12.30pm (Playground behind Junior Clubhouse)

UQFC would urge ALL members to take 10 minutes to attend the community consultation which is being set up to share the Cubberla Creek Reserve Draft Sport and Recreation Precinct Plan. This plan is the culmination of 18 months of meetings and with the help and support of Councillor Kate Richards, the aim is that this new sporting precinct will include the field space and expanded Clubhouse facilities that UQFC Junior Club so desperately needs for it's 1000+ members.

Your attendance and representation are KEY to the success of this process. The more UQFC Members attend and vocally reinforce our overwhelming need for space and facilities, the more focus will be placed on the immediate and longer-term needs of our Club and the funding required to meet them.

Check out the plan, show your support and have your say on Sunday 20th October 2019, 10.30am to 12.30pm at Cubberla Creek Reserve (Akuna Oval), Hepworth Street, Kenmore.
