Wyong Leagues Group Commits $3 Million to Rugby League Facility Upgrades

The investment forms part of the next phase of the Club Group’s long-term rugby league strategy, which commenced more than two years ago and focuses on providing high-quality facilities to support players, officials and the broader community.

Earlier stages of the strategy delivered substantial drainage and lighting upgrades, resulting in fewer washed-out games, increased pitch availability, and a greater capacity to host night matches and training sessions.

The latest phase will centre on the construction of a new, purpose-built amenities block. The facility will feature modern dressing rooms, including significantly improved spaces for women’s teams, reflecting the strong growth in female participation across the game.

The building will also include a new room for referees and officials, a treatment area and a dedicated massage room. 

On the second level there will be media and broadcast rooms, coaching boxes, and flexible meeting and presentation spaces will be incorporated alongside additional undercover viewing areas for spectators.

Morry Breen Field has long been a cornerstone of rugby league on the Central Coast, most recently hosting Central Coast senior rugby league grand finals, further highlighting the importance of continued investment in the venue.

Group CEO Ben Coghlan says the Board is strongly committed to ensuring the long-term health of the game in the region.

“The future of the game on the Coast is a major focus of our Board,” Ben says. 

“While we acknowledge that our local competition has always been strong, we feel the provision of first-class facilities is necessary for it to continue to flourish.”

He says the Club Group is confident the investment will support sustainable growth across all levels of the sport.

“We are prepared to demonstrate our confidence in the future health of the game by making this investment,” Ben says.

The upgrades follow the success of the Wyong Leagues Group Junior Rugby League Subsidy, which has provided registration support for several thousand children under the age of 13. 

The program contributes $100 per child towards registration fees and has been offered to all Central Coast junior clubs, helping to significantly boost junior participation numbers.
