The Commonwealth Government will contribute $4 million to redevelop the Redcliffe Dolphins Stadium.
It’s an investment in jobs, growth and the local community.
Already, the Dolphins precinct is the second biggest employer on the Redcliffe Peninsular. The upgrade will generate hundreds of additional jobs – not only construction positions but also new, on-going jobs in hospitality, marketing, cleaning and maintenance.
The club is an important part of the community. Rugby, hockey and soccer teams play and train on its ovals.
The new stadium will be able to accommodate 10,000 people. There will be covered seating, upgraded change rooms and a recreation area for schools and junior player camps.
Sports teams and their fans won’t be the only beneficiaries. The upgrade is part of a long‐term plan to create a precinct on Brisbane’s northside that will be able to host concerts and trade shows.
The Commonwealth contribution will supplement funding from the Dolphins and the Moreton Bay Regional Council.
Luke Howarth has been a passionate advocate of the project. Nearly two thousand people have signed a petition asking for Commonwealth assistance and the Government is proud to be able to deliver it.
