The transformation of Ted Jeffries Memorial Park in Brighton has reached an exciting milestone, with the completion of the new soccer clubrooms – set to become the official home of the Brighton Storm Soccer Club for the 2026 season.

Delivered on budget, the new building, associated services, and landscaping represent a significant enhancement to the park. Designed by AKA Architects and built by Maveric Builders, the facility is already being praised for its exceptional quality and community value. The Brighton Storm Soccer Club has expressed strong satisfaction with the modern, flexible spaces now available to players, referees, and spectators.

The clubrooms feature two fully equipped change rooms that can operate as male and female facilities or be allocated to home and away teams depending on match scheduling. A unisex referee room and additional toilets add to the building’s versatility. The kitchen has also been designed to meet food licensing requirements, enabling future canteen and event opportunities.

Spectators will benefit from the new undercover viewing areas included in the site’s master plan. These sheltered spaces provide excellent views of the upgraded soccer pitches while keeping visitors out of the weather.

Funded through the Federal Government’s Investing in Our Communities program, the project delivers on the 2022 Federal Election commitment to improve local sporting and community infrastructure. The clubrooms were showcased to the public during the Hobart Open House event on 9 November 2025 and later featured as part of the Parks and Leisure Australia State Conference tour.

This building forms part of the broader Ted Jeffries Memorial Park Master Plan, jointly delivered by Brighton Council and the Federal Government. Recent works include a new off-lead dog park, Seymour Street upgrades, expanded youth recreation facilities such as a bike park and improved skate area, upgraded parking, and significant soccer pitch enhancements.

The new clubrooms mark a proud step forward for community sport and recreation in Brighton.
