Project 2023: Grounds Update
Covid may have ended our 2021 season early, but you will be pleased to know that behind the scenes progress being made to improve facilities for next season and beyond.
The Wellington Oval upgrade is well underway and is on track to be available for our use in Season 2022!!!
Project 2023 Partnership
LFC are working closely with NSFA to ensure that our Project 2023 vision can be enabled and this has now been documented in the NSFA Facilities Strategy.
The NSFA Facilities Strategy has been created to provide a clear roadmap to futureproof football in the region. The biggest challenge facing NSFA and its five councils is the increasing demand on local fields, with council studies indicating field capacity will need to increase approximately 40% by 2032 to meet the growing Football participation base.
The exciting news to note within this plan:
LFC have the full support of NSFA to upgrade Primula to a Hybrid pitch! Importantly, it has been classified as a Tier 1 Project and NSFA will contribute $125,000 towards the upgrade.
Clanville Oval (Roseville) has been classified by NSFA as a Tier 2 project with the addition of lighting plus a scheduled surface upgrade in 2022.

Additionally if you are interested to understand the NSFA Strategic Plan for the future of football in our region, it is available on the the NSFA website.
