Over the past decade, the redevelopment of Unley Oval has transformed our home into a regional sporting facility of state significance. With modern training facilities, administration offices, an exceptional match day experience, and a versatile function room, Sturt Football Club has become a true destination club.
Now, we turn our attention to the final piece of this transformation – a permanent perimeter fence at Unley Oval.
Why the Fence Matters
Since 1998, the Club has spent over $1 million on temporary fencing, money that could have been invested into our talent pathway, women’s football, and community initiatives. A permanent fence will:
- Reduce match day costs by eliminating ongoing hire expenses.
- Provide fairness by allowing us to charge entry for SANFLW matches, just as every other SANFL club can.
- Reduce safety hazards that the current temporary fencing causes to volunteers and patrons.
- Enhance the spectator experience, making Unley Oval an even more attractive venue.
- Crown the upgrades of the past decade, elevating Unley Oval to one of the premier community and SANFL venues in South Australia.
Sturt Football Club’s Board has committed $360,000 towards this project. This is where we need your help.

Together, We Can Finish the Job
The permanent perimeter fence is not just infrastructure – it’s the crowning glory of the Unley Oval redevelopment. It will symbolise a decade of investment, passion, and community spirit, ensuring Sturt remains strong and sustainable for generations to come.
Now is the time to finish what we started. With your support, we can deliver the fence and complete the vision of Unley Oval as one of South Australia’s premier community sporting venues.
