More than 1,500 local football and cricket players call Brighton Beach Oval home, but the pavilion they rely on is no longer fit for purpose.

For a decade, Council and local clubs have been working towards a solution that better supports growing participation, particularly among women and girls.

We’ve seen strong support from local Members of Parliament to keep the Brighton Bowls Club onsite in the pavilion precinct and we are now calling for funding support to help us make this happen.

Watch the video to learn more about why this project matters. 🎥👇

Heads up! It’s swooping season 🦅

We’re receiving reports of birds swooping around the municipality, and we ask residents to be cautious during this temporary period.

Native birds may swoop people and their dogs to protect their young during the 6 to 8 weeks between hatching and when the chicks leave the nest.

We’ve put together some tips to help you avoid being swooped (linked below 🔗).

Please do not harass, interfere or throw stones at birds or their nests, as this only makes them more aggressive and defensive.

All native birds are protected in Victoria, so we're unable to remove or relocate any native bird species.
