1. Introduction
Football is the
most popular
sport in NSW
with 765,000
participants,
and a registered
player base 22%
larger than all
other football
codes combined
MAY 2015
It’s a sport for all ages, with 21% of children aged
5-14 playing football in NSW, a greater number
than the other winter outdoor sports combined,
eg AFL, rugby league, rugby union, netball and
hockey. Almost one-quarter of registered players,
some 64,000, are female.
Football faces real challenges at all levels of the
game to access enough facilities of the right
quality to play, especially in regional areas. The
football community is reliant on facilities that
are largely provided by Local Councils, who own,
maintain and develop sites and their facilities.
Many of these are over-used, in poor condition
and demand often outstrips supply. Significant
investment is required to improve the quality and
quantity of facilities to maintain current playing
numbers, and this situation will worsen as the
population continues to grow.
Investment in football facilities infrastructure
is vital to ensure these benefits continue, and
help the State Government achieve a number
of its goals as outlined in the ten year plan ‘NSW
2021’. This report identifies the areas where
facilities are lacking, where on a regional level the
population isn’t being serviced, and proposes a
wish list of facilities infrastructure needs to assist
the NSW Government in its long-term planning
and investment program through the Rebuilding
NSW plan.
Facilities not only enable growth in the game, they
also enable broader community development.
Ensuring communities have adequate spaces
where people can actively and safely engage in
sport and recreation can provide improved social,
health, educational and cultural outcomes for all.

2. NSW 2021
‘NSW 2021: A plan to make NSW number one’ is the state government’s 10-year plan to rebuild the
economy, provide quality services, renovate infrastructure and strengthen the local environment and
communities.
NSW 2021 is a plan for change with 32 goals and 180 targets, and the government is working with
community and business to respond to the challenges and opportunities faced, and to achieve the goals
that have been set. The plan will provide Football with the opportunity to align its activities with those of
the State Government, assisting in the meeting of goals in a number of key areas.

football is
Australia’s
most popular
sport with
1.96 million
participants
ACROSS THE
NATION
NSW is the biggest state, containing some
765,000, or 39% of the total. There are more
than 291,000 registered players in NSW, and one
in every 25 residents a registered player. Football
is by far the most popular sport in the State,
with 22% more players across the state than the
other NSW football codes of rugby league, rugby
union and AFL combined.

In NSW 21% of all children aged 5-14 play football,
a greater number than the other winter outdoor
sports combined eg AFL, rugby league, rugby
union, netball and hockey.
39% play modified or ‘small sided’ games
PG 8 | THE FUTURE NEEDS OF FOOTBALL IN NSW: A PARTNERSHIP APPROACH
MAY 2015
Football is played by young and old, the whole year
round. From MiniRoos for U6s to eleven-a-side
for adults on full size pitches, to indoor Futsal and
Summer football. It’s a game the whole family can
play 12 months a year.
The reach of football extends into the broader
community, with a number of programs in the
State aimed at encouraging participation and
inclusiveness for all.
Football4All develops special needs football
programs offering skills, drills, activities and
modified games designed especially for players
with a disability, and creates a support network for
volunteers, coaches, parents and players involved
in special needs football.
The Indigenous Football Development Program
aims to provide increased football resources,
reduce the barriers and increase participation
opportunities in the local community. The recent
successful Nations of Origin tournament helps
promote reconciliation within communities by
engaging Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and
people of non-Aboriginal decent.
The importance of football can be seen in the
many benefits it offers to:
• Develop education, skills and values that build
personal, social and leadership capability that can
lead to reduced crime, health, safety, education
and social risks.
• Promote healthy and active lifestyles through
regular physical activity reducing health risks to
individuals. Football can play a big part in reducing
overweight and obesity rates in children and
adults.
• Promote inclusivity and grow communities to
foster community based mentoring reducing
cultural, gender and socio-economic barriers.

3.2 Population Growth and the Facilities Gap
The population of NSW is 7.2 million. By 2056 it
is estimated that it will grow to 10.2 million. The
Greater Sydney region alone comprises 64% of
the population and will account for the majority
of future growth, seeing it almost double from 4.6
million to 7 million.
In NSW, there is state average of one pitch
per 3,545 head of population and 125 players
per pitch. There are significant local variations
to these ratios, but they provide the current
Statewide benchmark.

3.3 Current State of Facilities
Across the associations, zones and clubs in NSW,
there are 917 sites at which football is played
that include 2,031 pitches, the vast majority of
which are natural turf. These facilities are largely
provided by local Councils, who own, maintain and
develop sites and their amenities.
The facility challenges faced by rural, regional and
metropolitan associations, zones and clubs are
varied and unique. Some are in high growth areas
that provide open space for new facilities. Some
are within highly urbanised areas that have limited
free space. Some are running at full capacity of
their facilities and are turning players away, whilst
others have capacity to meet demand but need
to renovate and redevelop facilities that have
reached the practical end of their life.

Facilities are recognised as a key factor in keeping
and attracting players by providing spaces that not
only enable play, but also inspire people to play.
Current trends in relation to facilities go some
way to highlight the urgent support required to
continue to provide for the people of NSW.
MAY 2015
| PG 11
Membership surveys have highlighted the
challenges currently related to facilities, and the
major needs of participants include:
• Well maintained grass turf grounds
• Floodlighting that can allow night games and
extensive training
• Synthetic grass options for inclement weather
and to increase playing hours
• Toilets that are easily accessible
• Changing facilities that cater for men and women
By meeting these needs, and providing more
‘Appropriate Facilities’, participants will be able to
play football more consistently throughout the
year in safe and inviting settings, hopefully leading
to long-term engagement with the sport, and the
associated health benefits.

4. Facilities Investment
To ensure that the game’s future facilities needs
are met, and there is continued participation
growth in football and long-term engagement,
we propose the development of facilities
infrastructure in four key areas.

4.1 Regional Centres
REGIONAL
CENTRES
The development of regional centres for football
associations and zones will provide improved
home grounds for these organisations, and a focal
point for the sport in the area. They will normally
comprise a complex containing several good
quality pitches, quality lighting suitable for nighttime competition and training, amenity blocks, a
club house, access to PA systems, canteen and
good quality grass or synthetic surfaces. They
might also contain covered areas for spectators.
The development of these facilities enables the
regional association or zone to host state titles,
large gala days, talent training camps, and regional
finals days. They would also be regularly used by
local clubs, and located centrally to local schools
and can be easily accessed.

4.2 Amenities Upgrades
The upgrading of amenities at existing venues can
cover a number of different projects, but all can
result in a significant improvement of facilities and
increased participation rates and enjoyment by all
sectors of the community.
Playing surfaces
The quality and durability of a pitch’s playing
surface is key to the enjoyment of the game.
Over-use, poor drainage or inadequate irrigation
can increase susceptibility to damage affecting the
quality of a natural turf pitch, leading to its closure
during poor weather, or its wearing out before
AMENITIES
UPGRADES
the end of the season. Improvements such as the
installation of drainage or irrigation systems can
dramatically improve the quality of a grass football
pitch, leading to a better playing experience for
players and referees, and for a relatively small
investment.
Lighting
Lights are a very important element of a football
facility, and a simple but effective way to improve
the quality of a large number of facilities. As a
predominantly winter sport, football matches are
generally played on the weekends during daylight,
but training has to take place on weekday nights
when there’s no daylight saving and it’s dark.
Lights enable a ground to be used for training,
and all teams from junior to senior can train two
or three times a week in safety. The lighting of
training-specific pitches and areas also allows
for the preservation of main playing pitches, and
prevents their deterioration. The upgrading of
existing lights can also have huge benefits, eg
allowing matches to be played at night, and easing
scheduling difficulties on over-subscribed pitches.
MAY 2015
| PG 15
Change rooms and toilets
Clubhouses and canteens
A seemingly fundamental requirement for any
football facility, yet 34% of existing football
grounds do not have change rooms; of grounds
that do have change rooms, 17% are considered
inadequate; and 43% of existing football grounds
do not have unisex or women’s change room
facilities.
Clubhouses and canteens are basic elements of
a football club, yet a key to fostering a sense of
community among participants. They provide the
infrastructure to store equipment, serve food and
beverages, conduct administration and provide a
home for the club where memorabilia and awards
can be displayed, and club members can meet
and be social.
It is a basic health requirement to provide suitable
toilets (male, female and disabled) at a public
gathering place such as a football ground, but
often these facilities are totally inadequate for
the number of players, referees, coaches, officials
and fans who regularly attend matches at the
weekend.
Adding and upgrading change rooms and
toilets, particularly to accommodate the growing
popularity of women’s football and the legislative
requirements to provide accessible facilities, is a
focus for facilities infrastructure development.
PG 16 | THE FUTURE NEEDS OF FOOTBALL IN NSW: A PARTNERSHIP APPROACH
For many clubs, canteen takings represent a most
significant part of their annual income, and can be
crucial to their survival. The availability of food and
drink to players, officials and fans on matchdays,
also greatly improves the football experience and
is an added benefit to the community.
In essence a football club cannot really be a club
until it has a clubhouse and this is an important
quality measure of football facilities. More
sophisticated clubs have bars and restaurants,
but generally for grassroots football as simple
structure is all that is required.
MAY 2015
4.3 Synthetic Surfaces
A synthetic
surface can
be played on
intensively and
extensively
throughout
all weather
conditions
This can significantly increase the number of
active people within a community. This supports
the achievement of improved social, health,
environmental and economic benefits for the
community.
The installation of a synthetic surface at a football
facility can have wide-ranging benefits, including
the provision of:
SYNTHETIC
SURFACES
• Lower comparative maintenance requirements
which can reduce ownership costs
• Increased intensity of use by up to three
times that of natural turf supporting increased
participation rates and revenue opportunities
• Increased intensity of use can also support use
by other sports on the same pitch, improving
amenity for the wider sporting community.
• High quality and consistent surfaces to support
skills development and play
• Improved participants’ physical health and
conditioning as they can play more often on a
safer surface
• A more tolerant surface to adverse weather
conditions that requires little or no irrigation and
can be used as a water catchment facility to aid
irrigation
• Over a 10 year period, it’s estimated a synthetic
pitch can be 56% more cost efficient per hour
of use than a natural grass surface due its
utilisation capability
MAY 2015
| PG 17
4.4 Alternative Use
ALTERNATIVE
USE
The development of alternative sites for use
by football can help meet the growing demand
for the sport, and increase participation rates.
Indoor halls, tennis courts, bowling greens and
other open spaces can be suitable for training for
11-a-side football, or training and competition for
small-sided, futsal or 6-a-side.
The conversion of an alternative site to a synthetic
surface can also improve amenities for the whole
community, with numerous sports able to play and
train on the same venue. School playing fields are
also a potential shared-use facility with football.

5. Funding Partnerships
Funding of facilities infrastructure projects has
to come from the development of a number of
partnerships with key stakeholders in the game.
Some football associations and zones have
built development funds through contributions
from their members, and this is a model being
investigated by football’s governing bodies across
their entire membership to help fund facility
projects for the benefit of all.
refurbishment. The investment of relatively modest
amounts in these facilities would significantly
improve the experience for players, referees,
coaches and spectators alike, and provide farranging positive outcomes for whole communities.
By keeping the grassroots healthy, the benefits can
transcend football.
Football NSW and Northern NSW Football have
conducted an extensive audit of these facilities,
in conjunction with their Associations, Zones and
Clubs, and have identified the following projects
as priorities. We present these grouped by State
Electoral District, and look forward to discussing
these projects with the Government in due course.
The involvement of government at Federal, State
and Local levels is critical to the development of
football facilities in the State, and the importance
of existing funding from the NSW Government in
the form of the Participation and Facility Program,
Community Building Partnership and ClubGrants
scheme cannot be over-stated.
The news that the NSW Government has increased
its commitment to the Sports and Cultural
Infrastructure Fund to at least $1.2 billion is
hugely significant for football in the State. While it
is understood some $600 million of that amount
would be spent on three major stadia in Sydney,
there are over 900 football venues in the State,
and a majority are in need of re-development or

estimated that to upgrade the lighting including

The current lights at the facility are inadequate
for games or for training. Improved lighting would
allow training during the week for both junior and
senior players. The existing canteen/toilets and
changerooms which were built in the 70’s are in
