A much needed addition to a great community soccer club. The club brings soccer players of all ages and families together and is an integral part of grass roots and community soccer development on the Peninsula. This improvement will enable more supporters and families to enjoy the matches and support the club and players no matter the weather!

Mornington Soccer Club is the peninsulas oldest and biggest soccer club with seniors, women, veteran and junior players. Members have enjoyed the same clubrooms for nearly half a century and with Melbourne’s wild weather can rarely enjoy this winter sport with no windows to the grounds. Add to this a small verandah that barely fits more than 2 people deep and Australia’s fastest growing sport isn’t very accessible or enjoyable, especially for Mornington’s high English migrant soccer loving community. If this project goes ahead not only will the 550plus members enjoy the facility but so will the public.
Soccer is the fastest growing sport in Australia and the peninsula soccer community has always been strong with membership growing every year and the call and need for more facilities in the area. A more sustainable solution is to provide and upgrade in current facilities so families can watch their children play sport and the local fans can watch a successful senior team close to home.

MSC is in desperate need of this funding to upgrade the current facilities. This club provides and integral part in bringing the local kids and adults of the surrounding community together... it’s currently VERY challenging to do this in winter with no weather appropriate areas.
Too many sporting arenas and clubs in close proximity are getting upgraded facilities and MSC is left in the cold... literally.
This improvement will provide future generations of the peninsula a place to come and enjoy soccer with family and friends no matter what weather Melbourne throws at us.
A great initiative that should be voted for and supported.

Something the club has needed for years, not much fun watching the kids and the seniors in the howling freezing winds and driving rain that is a common feature at Seagull Stadium.

Mornington SC plays an important role in bringing kids and clubs on the peninsula together for a soccer gala each year. Would be terrific if their families had an area which protected them from the harsh weather.

well said. it also gives school sport days a place to place belongings in a protected environment and also home and opposition teams, referees and general public some coverage from the weather. a very small cost when considering what all rate payers pay

My son has been with the club for 3 years and my youngest will join next year. An amazing club that gives so much to their players. It would be great for the club to see much needed upgrades.

Been at the club now 8 years and it's well overdue, especially as other clubs around MSC have all been upgraded and we are well behind the times now. Given the amount off juniors alone at the club it's imperative for the community and copious anounts off families.
