A major redevelopment to Stan Twight Reserve in Rockingham has officially opened, delivering modern facilities and upgraded lighting to support the growing needs of local sporting clubs and the wider community.

The project was supported by a $1 million grant through the WA Government's Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund, $6 million from the City of Rockingham, and a $50,000 contribution from WA Football through the Australian Football Facilities Fund.

Home to the Shoalwater Bay Cricket Club, Safety Bay Stingers Football Club, and Rockingham Rams Masters Football Club, Stan Twight Reserve has seen strong growth in participation in recent years, including increasing numbers of women and junior players.

The outdated 30-year-old pavilion was demolished and replaced with a contemporary social pavilion featuring kitchen and bar facilities, clubrooms, and storage.

A new change room building has also been constructed, providing four gender-neutral change rooms, an umpires change room, first aid room, and an externally accessible universal toilet to support inclusive and community-friendly use.

The project also delivered new floodlighting upgrades to 150 lux on the main oval, allowing clubs to better meet demand for training and to host evening competition fixtures.

The renewed facilities have been designed to boost accessibility, inclusivity and community safety, ensuring the reserve remains welcoming and fit-for-purpose for people of all ages, abilities.

The upgrades are part of the WA Government's PlayOn WA: 2030 by 2030 initiative, which is delivering new and improved community sport infrastructure across the State to ensure local clubs have safe, modern, and accessible facilities.
