• The Lakes Cricket Club secures a community lease for storage shed and shared clubhouse and fields at Burpengary Sports Complex.
• City of Moreton Bay invests in grass-roots sport providing stability with long-term community lease.

City of Moreton Bay has granted a five-year lease at Burpengary Sports Complex to The Lakes Cricket Club.

The lease includes exclusive use of a storage shed and a shared use of the clubhouse and sports fields.

The recent merger of The Lakes Cricket Club and Burpengary Cricket Association has provided a pathway for those resident players to continue to call Burpengary Sports Complex home.

Mayor Peter Flannery said having the peppercorn lease of $1 per annum takes the pressure off the club so they can focus on what matters.

“Council is proud to continue to support local sporting groups including The Lakes Cricket Club in City of Moreton Bay”, Mayor Flannery said.

“With over 550 patrons, it’s important for the club to have a safe enjoyable environment where young people can develop their cricketing abilities. This lease really helps the club hit it out of the park.

“Council is actively investing in grassroots sport, not just by providing space but by ensuring clubs have the stability to plan long-term.”

Division 2 Councillor Mark Booth said the new lease for The Lakes Cricket Club will give members greater opportunities to enjoy, grow and hone their cricketing skills.

“The new lease for The Lakes Cricket Club will ensure they have access to quality facilities and the ability to continue building a strong community around the sport.

“Supporting our local sports clubs is vital for encouraging participation and fostering the next generation of cricketers in our City.”

Club President Daniel Moyle said the club welcomes the confirmation of a new five-year lease, providing essential long-term security and allowing the club to continue delivering high-quality cricket programs.

“Having exclusive use of the storage shed and shared access to the clubhouse and sports fields gives our members the certainty they need to plan for the future.

“We are grateful to Council for their ongoing support and look forward to expanding opportunities for all our players.”
