Calamvale Facility Receives Support

Brisbane Super Kings Cricket Club at Calamvale has secured funding through the Safer Suburbs Grants to install CCTV cameras aimed at reducing vandalism and strengthening security around its leased facility. This funding forms part of the second round of grants supporting 72 community organisations across Brisbane.

Background on the Safer Suburbs Grants

The Safer Suburbs Grants program began in 2024 to help clubs address ongoing safety issues affecting community-leased facilities. Eligible organisations can access up to $10,000 for improvements such as CCTV systems, locks, lighting, security screens and fencing. More than $980,000 has been allocated since the program’s launch.

Major Facility Completed in Heathwood

The club recently completed a three-lane hybrid wicket cricket nets facility at Heathwood Park. The project, valued at around $300,000, includes long run-ups and lighting, finalised after three years of planning and collaboration across community partners.

Opening Event Held in Heathwood

The new Heathwood training facility was launched during an event on 12 November 2025, held from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Long-serving members and players were acknowledged during the celebration, which also included junior representative cricketers.

Growing Participation Across Local Suburbs

Brisbane Super Kings draws members from Heathwood, Forest Lake, Pallara and surrounding areas. The combined benefits of the Heathwood training facility and the Calamvale safety upgrade are expected to improve training access and support safer participation. Other clubs receiving safety grants will use their allocations for lock upgrades, lighting improvements, alarm systems and additional security measures.
