Constitution & Governance Grant 2019 - This project is proudly funded by a Building Stronger Communities Grant from Brisbane City Council
EDJCA received a grant from the Brisbane City Council 2018-19 "Building Stronger Communities Grant Program" which has enabled us to update our Constitution & By Laws back into compliance with current legislative requirements AND for the committee members to receive advice from a specialist consultant (CPR Group) on modern good governance practices. This was an essential review process for EDJCA and we could not have managed this without the invaluable assistance from Brisbane City Council.
Thank you to Brisbane City Council!!!
Shade Shelters and Aluminium Furniture 2012
We have received grants for our two 6mx3m shade shelters for field 3 and aluminium furniture (bench seats and scorers tables) for all our field shelters thanks to QLD Government's Gambling Community Benefit Fund and Cr Adrian Schrinner, Chandler Ward.
Thank-you GCBF and Cr Schrinner.
New Turf Wicket Mower
EDJCA has taken delivery of a new Masport Golf 500 - 10 blade reel mower (6hp) - provided by Woodland Mowers, Logan Rd Holland Park. The turf wicket will be even better with this new addition to the EDJCA fleet. Whilst we did not obtain a grant for the mower, Gary at Woodland's helped us out with a considerable discount.
Equipment Shed Grants - 2010/11
The shed was mostly funded by grants from The Lord Mayor's Suburban Initiatives Fund - Councillor Adrian Schrinner (Chandler), Councillor Ian McKenzie (Holland Park) and equal contributions from EDJCA and BMTA. At 16m wide, 7m deep and 3m tall it has enough space for current needs and room for growing needs of both BMTA and EDJCA. .
Mentay 2000 Roller Grant - 2010
EDJCA has purchased a Mentay 2000 Roller for preparing the Whites Hill Turf Wicket thanks to the QLD Government's Gambling Community Benefit Fund. This is the same type of roller used at The 'Gabba!
Nets Refurbishment and Marquees 2010
The Commonwealth Bank Sponsorship has been put to good use with a much needed overhaul of our cricket nets by Gabba Sporting Products ($21,000) and the purchase of EDJCA Marquees. Commonwealth Bank has been a great sponsor of our EDJCA Fun Day 6-a-side Comp since 2008.
Turf Wicket 2009 and Field Resurfacing 2008-9
Brisbane City Council undertook a significant multi-mullion dollar upgrade of the cricket fields in 2008-9 with resurfacing all 4 fields and re-laying 3 gabba grass pitches and installing a new 4-block turf wicket. Addition field lighting was installed with funding added by BMTA for touch matches and cricket training. The photo of the turf wicket below was taken just after being laid by BCC under consultation with Kevin Mitchell (Gabba Curator) in September 2009 and shows the Ray Little oval's grass having just been re-laid also.
The first matches were played in Season 2010-11 in the BEARS Div 1 comp Saturday mornings and by Sub-Districts on Saturday afternoons.
The wicket is shaping up well under the careful preparation and maintenance by Glen Cooper, groundsman for Coorparoo Sub-Districts Cricket Club under a sub-agreement.
Whipper Snipper and Leaf Blower 2009
Thanks to The Lord Mayor's Suburban Initiatives Fund - Councillor Adrian Schrinner, Chandler Ward for his generous grant for EDJCA's Whipper Snipper and Leaf Blower that EDJCA and BMTA use to maintain the grounds of the cricket lease at Whites Hill.

Thanks to the Jupiters Casino Community Benefit Fund and equal contributions from EDJCA, BMTA amd Holland Park Hawks the three leasholders at Whites Hill have a great finishing mower to maintain the fields between council mows.
