Stan Twight Reserve Clubroom Redevelopment

  • Infrastructure projects
  • Construction

Project summary

A new clubroom and changeroom facility are being built to meet the current and future needs of sporting clubs and the community.

The clubroom at Stan Twight Reserve has been identified as needing an upgrade and expansion in order to be functional for current and future community needs. The reserve site layout will also be reconfigured to maximise the active open space available.

This project is currently scheduled to commence construction in 2024/2025. A master plan was completed in 2022 inclusive of previous studies of the site, functional requirements for stakeholders of the reserve, and the City’s need to meet participation trends and maximise use of the facility.

Background

Stan Twight Reserve is located on Hennessy Way in Rockingham and is bounded by Dargin Way to the east, Merrimac Loop to the west and a drainage channel to the north. The reserve consists of five separate lots. The clubhouse and change room facility was initially constructed in 1992 and had extension works completed in 1998/1999.

The reserve was designed to accommodate district level cricket in the summer. After two turf wickets and turf wicket training nets were installed in 1995, Stan Twight became home to the Rockingham Mandurah District Cricket Club. The club called this reserve home until the Lark Hill Sportsplex regional facility was opened in 2008. The Rockingham Hockey Club was the winter tenant at Stan Twight Reserve until they too relocated in 2008 to Lark Hill.

After the relocation of the two clubs, Shoalwater Bay Cricket Club became the summer tenant, and the Safety Bay Football Club relocated to the reserve in 2009 from Georgetown Reserve to be the winter tenant. Stan Twight is currently the home to these two clubs. The reserve is also used by the Rockingham Masters AFL Club and additionally to host Cricket Country Week matches run by the Western Australian Cricket Association. 

The City developed an initial master plan for the Stan Twight Reserve in 2016, which was reviewed and updated by Hames Sharley in 2022. The purpose of the Stan Twight Reserve Master Plan (STRMP) was to determine a set of actions to be implemented to meet community need. This included defining the infrastructure and facilities that should be delivered over the life of the plan, and the expectation of how the reserve will function into the future.

The project is scheduled to commence construction in the year 2024/2025.
