Wanneroo Districts Rugby Union Club Secures $3 Million State Government Funding for Kingsway Redevelopment

The home of one of Western Australia’s largest rugby clubs is set to undergo a major commercial and structural redevelopment, with modern changerooms and a completely revamped clubhouse planned for the Wanneroo Districts Rugby Union Club.

The facility upgrades at the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex are designed to create a more modern, welcoming, and inclusive corporate and sporting environment, explicitly engineered to support the growing commercial segment of female rugby union participants.

Commenting on the investment, Landsdale MLA, Daniel Pastorelli, said: “I’m proud to say that with this investment, the mighty Roodogs will be home to the best rugby union facilities in the northern suburbs, and arguably the best in the metro area.”

“These facility improvements will make a real difference for players, families and volunteers, and help create a more inclusive environment that encourages more women and girls to get involved in the sport,” Pastorelli said.

Wanneroo Districts Rugby Union Club Infrastructure Delivery

The infrastructure project will be delivered via a joint partnership between the Western Australian State Government and the City of Wanneroo. The development footprint will be executed through a strategic two-stage construction timeline.

Stage one of the project will focus on the immediate delivery of the new player changerooms, with full construction completion expected by July 2027. Stage two, which is currently navigating the planning and design phase, involves redeveloping the core clubroom building alongside expanding physical amenities for players, families, and club volunteers.

The major infrastructure expansion received a significant financial boost following an additional $2 million funding injection from the State Government. This fresh capital allocation builds directly upon an existing $1 million 2025 State Election financial commitment previously pledged to the rugby organisation, bringing the total government investment to $3 million. Landsdale MLA Daniel Pastorelli joined WA Premier Roger Cook and City of Wanneroo Mayor Linda Aitken at the sporting complex to finalize the funding announcement.

Historical Growth and Community Footprint

The Wanneroo Districts Rugby Union Club was established in April 1981 following the strategic merger of the Sorrento and Wanneroo clubs. Over its 45-year history, the club has evolved into one of Western Australia’s most prominent and recognizable grassroots sports organisations. To keep pace with substantial membership demand, the grounds underwent successive physical enhancements and facility modernisations in 2007, 2010, and 2013.
