Date13 November 2025 The City of Rockingham has officially opened the redeveloped Stan Twight Reserve Clubroom, marking a major milestone for local sport and the community.
On Tuesday 11 November, the Stan Twight Reserve Pavilion was officially opened by the City’s Mayor Lorna Buchan and Magenta Marshall MLA on behalf of the Hon Minister Rita Saffioti MLA.
The redevelopment delivers modern, inclusive spaces designed to meet growing demand and encourage participation across all ages and abilities. The new pavilion features gender-inclusive changerooms, a social space, kitchen, kiosk, and a variety of other spaces to support local sporting clubs. The build also includes beautiful cultural elements, endorsed by the Mooriboordap Advisory Group (MAG).
City of Rockingham Mayor Lorna Buchan said the upgrade is a game-changer for local sports.
For decades, Stan Twight Reserve has been the backdrop for unforgettable match days. This redevelopment ensures those memories continue, in a space designed to meet the current and future needs of players, families and supporters.
Originally built in 1992, Stan Twight Reserve has long been a hub for a variety of sports, with cricket and football being the sports calling the reserve home since 2009. It was named in honour of Stan Twight, a respected local sporting figure who helped form Rockingham’s first cricket team and dedicated years of service to grassroots sports in WA, and it was pleasing to have family members of Stan Twight on hand to celebrate the opening.
The project was funded by the City of Rockingham with $1 million from the State Government of Western Australia through its Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund, and $50,000 each from WA Football and the AFL and WA Cricket and Cricket Australia.
Shoalwater Bay Cricket Club will move into the new pavilion for the 2025/26 summer season, while Safety Bay Football Club and Rockingham District AFL Masters will kick off their first winter season in 2026.
