$5 MILLION FOR A NEW PAVILION AT TORMORE RESERVE, BORONIA ?

For over ten years, the leaders of Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club and Boronia Cricket Club have been pressing for an upgraded pavilion to replace the 40 year old club rooms. Today, I announced $5 million of federal funds to make this happen. Congratulations to all of those who persisted to make this happen. It will be a great result for the entire Boronia community.

Now What?

The Club is now working hard to move quickly from the announcement towards a framework that will deliver the fulfilment of our needs as a modern, inclusive community club with strong growth, particularly in female participation. We are working closely with our co-tenants from Boronia Cricket Club, who are an essential partner for all development of facilities at Tormore Reserve.

We are now proud to announce the formation of the Steering Committee that will be pivotal to the success of the development project. The committee will be chaired by Wayne Preston, who has already played a huge role in getting us to this point. This is a strong group of volunteers with the skills and knowledge necessary for such a task and who are all passionate and committed to their clubs and community.

  • Wayne Preston – Senior Vice President, BHFNC;
  • Scott Nicholas – Chair, Board of Directors, BHFNC;
  • Karen Little – Women’s Football Operations Manager, BHFNC;
  • David Murrihy – former Club Secretary and Life Member, BHFNC;
  • Paul Noone – President, BCC;
  • Matt Smythe – Vice-President, BCC;
  • Leigh Blennerhasset – Secretary, BCC;
  • Melanie Kogelman – Treasurer, BCC.

All members and supporters of our club are welcome to read the overview of the Steering Committee’s role and responsibilities, which has been shared with, and welcomed by, our community representatives Alan Tudge MP, Jackson Taylor MP and Cr Yvonne Allred.

New Nets at Tormore Reserve

Posted on by

The poles have arrived for the new nets behind the goals at the scoreboard end of Tormore Reserve!

A very big thank you to Knox City Council for the installation of nets at both ends of the ground over the past two years. These new nets will protect the neighbours and will save on lost footies for the Club.

Thanks to our roving reporter Phil Watson who always keeps a very close eye on all developments in the surrounds at Tormore Reserve, Home of the HAWKA!

New Kitchen Facilities for Tormore

Posted on by

One of our key objectives as a club is to make life easier for our volunteers by upgrading our facilities, equipment and technology whenever possible. With this in mind, we have recently invested in a brand new kitchen range for Tormore Reserve.

Ellen Johnson with her new commercial quality kitchen range.

The purchase of the oven, griller and deep fryer was funded by the Club, together with a generous contribution from our co-tenants Boronia Cricket Club. For those who may not know, Ellen Johnson manages the kitchen and canteen for both clubs, doing a superb job throughout the seasons. Ellen is now supported by premium equipment to turn out match day snacks and regular meals for the teams and supporters on Wednesday and Thursday nights during the football season.

We are very grateful to Craig Brockley, our super-successful Men’s Development Squad Coach, who installed the new equipment through his firm, Brighton Gas Company. “Brighton Gas specialises in the servicing and repairs of gas products in Melbourne. When it comes to the servicing and repairs of gas heating for your home or gas cooking appliance repairs and servicing we can help”.
