Funding Brings Project To Life

The $3.5 million Silver Jubilee Sports Facility Clubhouse was funded jointly by the Australian Government and Ipswich City Council. The federal contribution of $1.97 million came through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, while Council added $1.55 million. 

Construction began in late 2024 and finished by mid-2025, with H&G Contractors leading the build. The clubhouse adds to the broader Silver Jubilee precinct, which features sports fields, courts and family-friendly areas. Local leaders said the facility fills a long-standing need for organised sport and supports the suburb’s growing number of young families.

Built For People, Sport And Connection

The clubhouse features a large clubroom, four change rooms, officials’ spaces, a commercial kitchen, medical rooms, and ample storage. Outside, it includes terraced seating, accessible paths, landscaped turf, a covered walkway, and relocated shade shelters. 

Sustainability features like solar panels and rainwater tanks help reduce environmental impact. The facility is fully accessible, with unisex toilets and inclusive design for people with disability.

Growing With The Local Community

The new clubhouse will serve clubs like Springfield Lakes Hawks Rugby Union and Springfield Stingers Touch Football. Both clubs see the facility as key to growing their membership and improving support for players. 

Local councillors highlighted Spring Mountain’s fast population growth and the need for quality shared spaces. As sport in the area has expanded, the clubhouse fills a gap in local infrastructure. Its close location to nearby fields gives clubs access to the amenities they’ve long needed.

Launch And Community Event

A community celebration will take place on Saturday, 21 June 2025, alongside a junior rugby match hosted by the Springfield Lakes Hawks. Residents, players and families are invited to see the new clubhouse in action.
