The new facility will include one synthetic and two grass hockey pitches with irrigation, landscaping and floodlighting, at Warwick Open Space.
The City of Joondalup has committed $4.5 million to the project and received a further $1.2 million from the State Government, while Whitford Hockey Club will contribute $600,000; the largest single co-contribution from any sporting club in the City.
“The club has a fantastic history of community and it’s because of this strength that Whitford has been able to take the next step to becoming a premier hockey club in WA,” president Len Collier said.
