The Sunshine Coast Council has recently announced the closure of several sports fields across the region due to inclement weather. This decision affects various venues, including the Caloundra Indoor Stadium, Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex, and Sunshine Coast Stadium and Kawana Sports Precinct. The closure period is set from Wednesday, March 5, 2025, until the close of business on Sunday, March 9, 2025.
The closure of these sports fields is a precautionary measure in response to Tropical Cyclone Alfred. The adverse weather conditions necessitated the closure to ensure the safety of athletes, visitors, and the integrity of the playing surfaces. The decision to close these venues reflects the council’s commitment to maintaining high standards of safety and quality in sports facilities across the region.
It is crucial for the community, sports clubs, schools, and individuals to adhere to the closure directives and refrain from using these fields during the specified period. Violating the closure instructions may result in fines or liability for any damages caused to the playing surfaces. The Sunshine Coast Council emphasizes the importance of respecting these closures to prevent any harm to the facilities and ensure their timely reopening for public use.
The management of sports fields in the region involves a collaborative effort between the council and various community sporting clubs. These clubs play a vital role in overseeing the maintenance and operations of the facilities, ensuring they remain accessible to the public when not in use for organized activities. The council works closely with these clubs to coordinate field closures based on weather conditions, maintenance requirements, or renovation projects.
In addition to community-managed sporting grounds, the council also oversees the management of public parks and larger sports fields like the Sunshine Coast Stadium and Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex. While the council strives to keep these facilities open as much as possible, occasional closures are necessary to address maintenance needs or weather-related concerns. Information about current field closures at council-managed precincts is available through signage boards at the venues and updates on business days.
For individuals seeking details about specific field closures or seeking further information, direct communication with the respective clubs or checking the council’s Community Sports Facilities page directory is recommended. Most community sports clubs on the Sunshine Coast maintain web pages or social media accounts to facilitate communication with the public regarding field availability and closures.
As the council continues to monitor the weather conditions and assess the impact of Tropical Cyclone Alfred, updates regarding the reopening of the closed sports venues will be provided. It is essential for stakeholders and the public to stay informed about any developments through official channels and adhere to the council’s guidelines regarding the use of sports fields during this period of closure. Further updates on the status of the venues are expected to be released on Monday, March 10, 2025, following a reassessment of the situation.
