Northern Beaches Council will officially open new female-friendly change facilities at Pittwater Rugby Park on Thursday 27 November. 

The new change rooms offer private, secure and accessible spaces for players, referees and coaches, encouraging more women and girls to take part in local rugby and a wide range of activities.  

Mayor Sue Heins said the female-friendly change facilities are essential for creating equitable opportunities for all.  

“This project is about more than bricks and mortar – it’s about giving women and girls the facilities they deserve, supporting their passion for sport and breaking down barriers to participation.  

The new facilities will not only benefit the female players of Warringah Rugby Club but also encourage more women and girls to participate in sport, as well as support Pittwater Rugby Park as a sporting venue for premier events and grassroots competitions alike. 

“We are committed to ensuring all members of our community feel welcome and valued at our sporting venues. With ongoing collaboration we can ensure everyone has access to high-quality, inclusive amenities that support healthy, active lifestyles. 

"We look forward to seeing more women and girls participating in sports and enjoying the benefits of these new facilities."  Mayor Heins said. 

The delivery of the female-friendly change facilities at Pittwater Rugby Park forms part of Council’s larger investment in community infrastructure and has been made possible thanks to the added funding from the NSW State Government along with the invaluable input of the Warringah Rugby Club and broader community.
