Officer’s sporting and community groups need a larger social space at Officer Recreation Reserve, which they can use for events that help build connection, participation and engagement. Groups using the space include junior and senior sporting clubs (football, netball, tennis and cricket); and community groups, including the CWA, Progress Association, Scouts, Township Committee and local primary schools. The existing facility, built in the early 70’s and 80’s, is outdated and no longer large enough to accommodate a variety of group functions. Subsequently, events are either held elsewhere (at cost) or not at all (a loss in revenue to the community).
The new social space will increase sporting participation and community engagement in Officer. The larger facility will include a variety of event spaces, a modern kitchen with enhanced food preparation facilities, new accessible toilets to cater for the elderly and people with disabilities, plus much needed cover for the patrons who attend our winter sports. We have approached additional local community groups to support the project and invited them to be a part of the community using the facility—if it becomes a reality. These user groups are contributing just over $200,000 from their own funds to this project.

This is a much needed upgrade that has been overdue for some time. This positive community hub is much valued and has improved the development of many individuals in the area. This project would be well worth considering as a benefit to the growing community for the future to come.
