EXISTING or new cricket clubs will be invited to submit their expressions of interest for a summer tenancy at the Olivine Recreation Reserve.
The reserve is located at 2 Cycad Avenue, Donnybrook, with existing clubs asked to meet five points of criteria.
Applicants must acknowledge the completion of the Council’s Fair Access Policy, provide a draft budget for the 2025-26 season, an adequate level of insurance, letters of support for the application, and a completion of the online Expression of Interest form.
The weighting of the application will see 40 per cent of the criteria towards club development and their fair access policies, while 20 per cent is dedicated to the club vision.
A plethora of nearby clubs could use the oval as one to ease pressure on junior and senior teams.
Laurimar Cricket Club, for instance, fields 14 junior teams and seven senior teams, including a women’s team, while Mernda fields 10 junior teams and four senior teams.
