The Toombul District Cricket Club is delighted to announce that construction has officially commenced on a major facilities upgrade at La Frantz Oval within the Oxenham Park sporting precinct.
Funded by Brisbane City Council and supported by Councillor Adam Allan, the project will deliver new uni-sex changerooms, modern toilet facilities, shade areas and improved pathways, providing a significant boost to community sport in Brisbane’s northside.
The new development represents an important investment in the future of Oxenham Park and will ensure the precinct continues to meet the needs of a growing and diverse sporting community. Designed to provide inclusive and accessible amenities, the facilities will support participants, volunteers, officials and spectators for years to come.
Councillor Adam Allan welcomed the commencement of works and highlighted the value of investing in local sporting infrastructure.
“Brisbane City Council is proud to support local sporting clubs through investments that improve community facilities and create opportunities for participation. These new changerooms, amenities and associated upgrades at La Frantz Oval will provide inclusive, modern facilities that will benefit current and future generations of cricketers and the wider community. We are pleased to work alongside Toombul District Cricket Club to deliver this important project.”

The facilities will be used throughout the year, ensuring maximum benefit for the local community. During the summer months, La Frantz Oval is home to Toombul District Cricket Club’s junior and senior cricket programs, while in winter the changerooms will also be utilised by Mayne Juniors AFL Club. The shared use of the new amenities will support hundreds of local participants and families across multiple sports and age groups.
Toombul District Cricket Club President Andrew Cranstoun said the project would have a lasting impact on the club and the broader Oxenham Park sporting community.
“On behalf of everyone at Toombul District Cricket Club, we would like to sincerely thank Councillor Adam Allan and his team for their support and commitment to this project. The new changerooms and toilet facilities will provide our members, players, volunteers and supporters with modern amenities that will catapult our club forward for this generation of players and those to come.”
“Importantly, these facilities will be utilised year-round. During summer they will support our cricket programs, and during winter they will provide quality amenities for Mayne Juniors AFL. This is a fantastic outcome for community sport and an investment that will benefit local families for decades to come.”
