A masterplan has been endorsed to upgrade one of Moreton Bay region’s key sports grounds.
Moreton Bay City Councillors last week approved the plan for Rob Akers Reserve, off Bells Pocket Rd in Strathpine – but securing funding may take years.
Rob Akers Reserve is home to Pine Rivers Swans AFL and the upgrade would improve facilities, provide more parking and increase use.
Work includes restoring the second field and installing lighting for evening matches.
There would also be “informal recreation opportunities” for visitors and residents including play areas, fitness spaces and an off-leash dog park.
Designated areas for future koala habitat planting have been considered so Pine Rivers Koala Care and other environmental groups can continue their work.
