About Beale Park

    Beale Park is one of Cockburn's largest sporting reserves. 

    The existing clubrooms are ageing, lacking in flexibility and functionality, and are in need of replacement. The upgrades will help the Cockburn City Soccer Club, based at Beale Park, better support and grow their membership.

    The population of the surrounding area is expected to grow by 21,000 people by 2036. Upgraded facilities will cater to the expected population growth by providing the community with increased opportunities to participate in sport and physical activities.

    The upgrades are identified in the City's Community, Sport and Recreation Facilities Plan and Western Suburbs Sporting Precinct Study.

    Why is Beale Park being upgraded?

    The City is upgrading Beale Park to meet the growing needs of the community. The project aims to achieve:

    • Improved parking for game days and events.
    • Improved player safety, extend training and playing hours by providing better lighting.
    • Maximisation of playing space through realignment of pitches.
    • Increased participation opportunities for female players and teams by providing unisex change rooms. 
    • Increased participation by players of all abilities by providing accessible facilities.
    • A more functional and flexible clubroom and function space that can better cater to community needs.
    • Improved passive recreation amenities for the local community such as playgrounds, public artwork and ancillary infrastructure.

    Are there any plans for the war memorial?

    The memorial is on a separate parcel of land to Beale Park and is not part of this project. 

    How will the project be funded?

    • Development Contributions - $2.4m
    • State Government Grant (Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund) - $1M
    • Municipal Funds - $5.7m
