Ausco Modular to build clubhouse for Virginia United

Ausco Modular will start production on a brand new custom designed clubhouse for Virginia United Football Club.

Ausco Modular will start production on a brand new custom designed clubhouse for Virginia United Football Club, based in the Queensland suburb of Nundah.

Construction is planned to begin this month in the club’s Riverview facility, to enhance the viewing experience on game day.

The clubhouse plan design features four female friendly changing rooms, two referee rooms, a social room for club events and a large canteen. Spectators will be able to catch all the action from the deck overlooking Field 1.

Ausco have been trusted as a modular building partner, being the perfect fit for clubs, councils, community & sporting groups across Australia.

By choosing modular building to create a new or upgraded clubhouse or facility, it solves many of the challenges that organisations face in the planning and implementation of construction.

Minimal groundworks are required and little space beyond the built area of the building preserves playing fields during works and limits the number of disruptions for the playing season, as well as the neighbouring community.

Their latest completed project at Underwood Park highlights what they bring to any club or organisation who wants an upgrade on their current set up.

“This project not only provides our community with the sort of facilites we need, but has also supported 450 local construction and manufacturing jobs,” Mick de Brenni said.

“Special recognition is earned by the team at Ausco Modular, their contracting partners, staff and excellent tradies.”

By choosing Ausco Modular, you will get a reliable supplier of infrastructure that can bring immediate benefits to your organisation:

  • You can be assured that our design teams have worked closely with national and state sporting codes to develop facilities that meet or exceed their minimum standards
  • Time-saving as installation can be up to 60% faster than conventional on-the-ground construction
  • The modular building methodology makes facilities suitable for the landfill and reclaimed substrates under many playing fields
  • We manage the project from beginning to end to mitigate the risk of scope, timeline and cost overruns and to lessen the burden on your staff and volunteers.
  • All Ausco Modular buildings comply with the National Construction Code of Australia.

WA announce TV series for Sam Kerr’s children’s novels

A new TV series based on Sam Kerr’s children’s books ‘Kicking Goals’ is set to begin filming in early 2027 in Western Australia.

The show follows a young Kerr before she became captain of the Matildas and a star at Chelsea FC. Set in her home state of WA, the story sees her navigate her way through growing up and chasing her dreams, alongside her family and friends, and the adventures that entailed.

Speaking to Screenwest, Kerr said, ‘It’s pretty surreal knowing that Kicking Goals is being adapted into a TV series. These stories are all about believing in yourself and having a go, so it feels really special that a whole new generation will get to experience them on screen.’

Co-authored by Fiona Harris, the books have been a success since their initial release in 2021, a period which has coincided with Kerr and her Matildas teammates growing from beloved within Australia’s football community, into a team of genuine national appeal and recognition. They are available nation-wide, sold at major retailers such as Big W and Dymocks.

The television adaptation will beproduced by Orange Entertainment for Paramount+.

‘Kicking Goals’ is set to inject AUD 5million into the WA economy and provide over 130 local jobs.

Creative Industries Minister of WA, Simone McGurk, said via WA GOV, ‘The series will showcase all that Western Australia has to offer – including our world-class talent, crew, and diverse locations – while celebrating the story of one of our sporting greats.’

Casting is currently underway, with a search for a young Kerr and her mates ongoing.

The months after the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australian and New Zealand saw an 11% increase in women and girl’s participation in football compared to the previous year, showing the direct impact the biggest stage can have on grassroots football.

Kerr has managed to build on that success and begin a new chapter, inspiring kids both on and off the field.

Former Socceroos captain set to headline coaching conference

Mark Milligan – former Socceroos captain and Newcastle Jets Premiership-winning manager – is set to be the guest of honour at the 2026 Football NSW Coaching Conference, held at Valentine Sports Park from November 21st–22nd.

The annual conference represents Australia’s largest gathering of football coaches, and is set to include expert insight into coaching, practical sessions and development plans for attendees. Milligan will partake in a Q&A session with MC Stephanie Brantz on November 21, adding significant gravitas to the conference.

Chris Gallo, Football NSW Coach Education Manager spoke highly of Milligan via Football NSW.

‘Opportunities to hear from people who have experienced the game at the highest level are incredibly valuable for our coaches. Mark brings a unique perspective on leadership, performance and the demands of elite football, and we want our coaches to be able to take those insights back into their own environments,’ he said.

Milligan traversed the globe across a near-twenty year professional career that started in the old National Soccer League, concluded in the A-League, and took in time across Europe, the UK and Asia.

He represented the Socceroos with distinction across 80 appearances, selected by four seperate managers in World Cup squads, and was captain of the Olympic team in 2008. His nascent managerial career has already seen two trophies at Newcastle, where he is presently leading them in the Asian Champions League.

But it all began on the local pitches of Bankstown. Milligan is an authentic, home-grown product of Football NSW, and emblamatic of the rewards that can be reaped from investing in the beginning of a player’s journey.

With the conference already selling out, attendees can now expect to learn plemty from one of Australia’s most exciting, up-and-coming coaches.

The opportunity Football NSW are providing showcases their commitment in helping coaches develop, and their continued pledge of giving back to the game at its foundation.
