The committee was extremely grateful for the funding and believe this will ignite usage of this facility for both senior and junior AFL in the Tweed.
The Kingscliff Sports Field Masterplan was also discussed at the meeting. Matt McCann will coordinate a meeting in the New Year with all clubs/stakeholders to provide a project progression report.

6. Sports field provision Tweed Shire Northern Region
The Sports Field Strategy commissioned by Ross Planning dated 2014 identified the north coast precinct with its current large population and expected population growth as having existing shortfall of sports fields. Council will explore opportunities in identifying potential properties that are suitable which could be considered for future purpose to meet the shortfall.

7. Assets Reserves Trust Fund - Murwillumbah Cricket Club
An application was received from Murwillumbah Cricket Club for a project to replace an existing four dilapidated practice wicket facility at an estimated cost of $35,975. The club has sourced $8,000 from Cricket NSW, $10,000 from NSW Sport & Recreation and the club is contributing $2,975 and are seeking a further $10,000 contribution from Council's Sports Asset Reserves Trust Fund to undertake the project.
This facility is within walking distance from Murwillumbah CBD and a number of Public, Catholic and Private Primary and Secondary Schools. The club was hoping an upgrade to this facility would help assist in increasing participation numbers. The practice nets have been used by Tweed District and Northern Rivers Cricket Associations for training and development programs for junior and senior players over the past 15 years.
The committee would like to see a breakdown of the scope of works including quotations from recognised industry providers and how many registered members the club has for 2017/18 season. Matt McCann will email the club requesting these details.
Consideration will be given towards the support of this project at the next committee meeting in 2018.
