Building the Blues

Building the Blues – Continuing the Journey

Sturt Football Club is proud to announce the completion of Stage I and Stage II of the Unley Oval redevelopment project which has created a destination Club. These stages have delivered state-of-the-art training facilities, an exceptional match day experience, a versatile function room, and modern administration offices.

With these milestones achieved, we now set our sights on future projects aimed at enhancing our facilities and accommodating the needs of our growing Club.

Project Highlights:

Electronic Screen Upgrade: As part of our commitment to creating an engaging matchday experience, we aim to increase the size of the electronic screen at Unley Oval to create a larger screen. This upgrade will enhance the visual presentation of live game action and important announcements.
Dugout/Coach Box Communications: Install electronic capability for connection between the dugout and coaches box on match days
Second Oval Development: With the SANFL’s growing clubs initiative and the increasing demands on our facilities, we recognise the need to invest in a second oval, Urrbrae High School. This oval will cater to the training needs of all our teams and accommodate some junior game fixtures. The project includes the installation of lighting, goal and goal post nets, improvements to playing surface as well as the eventual construction of new change rooms and a canteen. The Club has received State and Federal funding but will need to contribute approximately $250,000 towards the project.
Proposed permanent perimeter fence Unley Oval: If council approves this project, the Club will make a contribution as the benefits of a permanent perimeter fence will reduce match day costs. Since 1998 the Club has spent over $1M on temporary fencing. Now is the time to put that money towards our talent pathway and community projects.

With these exciting future projects, we aim to create a modern and inclusive environment that fosters the development of our players and provides an exceptional experience for our members and supporters. We invite you to join us in this journey as we continue to Build the Blues!

Your contribution will directly support these vital projects and help us realise our vision for the Sturt Football Club’s future. Together, we can make a significant difference and create a legacy for generations to come.

Building the Blues is the Clubs most significant fundraising project and has been developed in partnership the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF).

In this modern era, we need to do more than just compete with other Clubs. We need our facilities to be the best they can be so we can continue to grow and develop.
