SOLOGINKIN OVAL AMENITIES GRAND OPENING
In May 2019 we celebrated the Grand Opening of the new amenities building at Sologinkin Oval, officially opened by Mackay Mayor Greg Williamson. This was our most ambitious and challenging project to date, costing in the vicinity of $2.5 million dollars, fully funded by Magpies Sporting Club with no government grants or assistance.
THE NEW SOLOGINKIN OVAL AMENITIES
The facilities have a strong focus on meeting the needs of female sporting participants including gender friendly changeroom with floor to ceiling showers, as well as a gym, ice baths and dedicated room to add spa’s. Four change rooms service the field, including individual change rooms for referees. The facilities are of state competition standard, we consulted not only with our own stakeholders in Magpies Rugby League Club and Magpies Football Club, but with Queensland Rugby League and Football Queensland. The design come from the desks of BSPN Architecture and had been 5 years in the making; the project was at first postponed due to the opportunity to buy back the club from the landlord in 2015.

MAGPIES WOMEN IN SPORT - HIGH CALIBRE SPOTLIGHT
🏏🔥 Proudly representing Queensland in the 2025 National Indigenous Cricket Championships, Dharmini is a force on and off the pitch. History was made! Dharmini Chauhan takes her place in the record books as the first-ever female A-Grade player to take the field for the 2024/25 season!
But she’s not stopping there… Dharmini is also giving back to the next generation, actively coaching the Magpies Junior Blasters – inspiring young cricketers with every session.
⚽ And when she’s not dominating the crease, you’ll find her lacing up for @magpiesfootballmackay Senior Women’s Prems – proving talent knows no bounds.
Let’s give it up for Dharmini – a true trailblazer and role model!
