Lights NB Suns Home Ground

Suns to get Lit Up!

In an eagerly anticipated gathering at The Green in Townsville recently, Stirling Hinchliffe MP and Queensland Sport and Recreation joined forces with the Northern Beaches SUNS to explore plans for an upcoming lighting installation. The meeting proved to be a resounding success, propelling the project forward with great enthusiasm and anticipation.

The Northern Beaches SUNS, Townsville’s cherished Australian rules football team, are leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of completing this significant endeavor in a timely manner. With unwavering determination, the team is aiming to have the lights illuminating their home ground before the year draws to a close, marking a major milestone in the development of the sport in the region.

Recognizing the collaborative efforts of various individuals and organizations, the Northern Beaches SUNS expressed heartfelt appreciation to those who tirelessly advocated on their behalf. The fruitful outcome of this meeting would not have been possible without the dedicated support and lobbying from these key stakeholders.

Undoubtedly, the financial support provided by Queensland Sport and Recreation played a crucial role in bringing this ambitious project to fruition. The generous funding offered by the organization will pave the way for the implementation of state-of-the-art lighting infrastructure, significantly enhancing the stadium’s capabilities and overall spectator experience.

The introduction of the new lighting system holds the promise of revolutionizing the way games are played and witnessed at The Green in Townsville. Beyond extending the playing hours to accommodate evening matches and training sessions, it will provide optimal visibility and create an electrifying atmosphere for both players and spectators alike.

The implications of this lighting installation extend beyond the immediate benefits for the Northern Beaches SUNS. With upgraded facilities, The Green will have the capacity to attract more sporting events, creating new opportunities for the local community and fostering the growth of Australian rules football in the region.

As the project gains momentum, the Northern Beaches SUNS are fully committed to diligently working towards their goal of completing the lighting installation by the end of the year. The team’s unwavering dedication and resolve are evident, reflecting their deep passion for the sport and their commitment to the Townsville community.

With the groundwork laid during this productive meeting, the future shines bright for both the Northern Beaches SUNS and their devoted fans. As the project progresses, anticipation builds, and the local community eagerly awaits the illuminating transformation of The Green in Townsville.
