PAVILION REDEVELOPMENT | TORMORE RESERVE

Posted on by

Knox City Council will meet on Monday 9 December to consider the appointment of a contractor to construct the Tormore Reserve Pavilion, home to the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club and Boronia Cricket Club.

Boronia Hawks FNC is extremely grateful to Knox City Council for their support of this project. We also wish to thank Mary Doyle MP and Jackson Taylor MP for their ongoing assistance in bringing this new facility to a reality.

“The works include partial demolition of existing pavilion and construction of a second storey addition, complete refurbishment of retained ground floor, and construction of a new crossover and entry road from Tormore Road, as per the endorsed Masterplan 2016”.

“The existing Tormore Reserve Pavilion was built in 1976, and is now considered not fit for purpose, as it only provides makeshift gym and first-aid areas, no dedicated female change rooms and amenities, nor DDA facilities apart from an outdated accessible toilet”.

“The new facility will comprise of four (4) change rooms and amenities, umpire change rooms, first aid rooms, a social / multipurpose room, meeting rooms, offices, storage space, a kitchen and cafeteria, and a bar”.

Huge Announcement at Tormore Today!

Posted on by

Boronia Hawks FNC is absolutely delighted to announce the pledge of $1.2M dollars to go towards our new pavilion from @jacksontaylormp and the Andrews Labor Government.

Jackson’s ongoing support of our Club has been nothing short of remarkable since he was elected as our local member. His tireless energy and capacity to always engage in our club community have been astounding and it is very much appreciated from a club level. Jackson, we thank you sincerely!!

Upon re-election, the Andrews Government has most generously pledged the sum of $1.0M towards our new pavilion and $0.2M towards the fit-out of the new pavilion and social rooms. The $0.2M will enable us to purchase quality appliances and furniture and should set our club up for many years to come!

With the pledge of $5.0M from Alan Tudge MP and the Federal Government, this now amounts to $6.0M towards our badly needed new pavilion. The players, supporters, and members of the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club and Boronia Cricket Club will soon have one of the finest pavilions in the Eastern Suburbs thanks to the incredible support of both Jackson and Alan.

A Message from Flash

The entire BHFNC should be mighty proud of its efforts over the past four weeks of hosting the Division One finals series.

The EFNL and competing clubs were lost for words in their gratitude for the organisation and efforts of our many, many volunteers over the month!

Headed up by Murra, our team worked cohesively and the many long days will now hold our club in greater financial strength as we move forward to our 2023 season.

To our early morning set up teams, to our bar teams, our burger teams, and canteen ladies, our traffic controllers, and our hlepers who kept carrying out stock to all the various tents, what an effort. In the coming few weeks we will be having a pleasant Sunday afternoon of thanks to all our helpers, I’ll get that date and time locked in ASAP.

Once all the bills are paid, we hope to announce our profit as it’s important all volunteers understand just how meaningful it is to the club to give so much of their time over the past four weekends.

Behind the scenes, we are working most nights to speak with potential recruits, plan our pre-season, reflect with trainers, and work diligently to ensure 2023 is an amazing year for the Hawka! Our coaches in all areas are now appointed and we hope you can all join us at one of our two presentation nights to properly give thanks and gratitude for this season.

Sincerely, thank you once again!!!

GREG HANNON, Senior President, BHFNC

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”.
