There are a few stages to the upgrade, but at some point we will be able to access new facilities, yes.
More details about what is happening here: https://www.kellyvillepark.com/what-we-re-doing
STATUS QUO: there are 5 fields in the complex, as per the diagram below.
Fields 1 & 2 are community Rugby League - effectively home to Kellyville Bushrangers Juniors but Parra Junior RL also bring in other clubs in wet weather.
Fields 3 & 4 are exclusively for use of the Eels (and are bloody nice as a result).
Field 5 we share with TAFE Polecats Rugby League (University Cup comp normally, but in an amalgamated comp due to numbers).
NEXT STAGE:
Fields 1 & 2 become Eels, with their CoE built next door as above.
Fields 3 & 4 become community facility for all sports - they're talking league, union, soccer, etc. Will have 4 changing rooms, ref's room, storage, kitchen, cafe/canteen, function room, 2500 seat grandstand, etc.
Field 5 gets a bit of an upgrade in terms of expanding our change sheds, canteen, and storage. They're also looking to add a proper ref's room, as well as setup a camera platform and maybe an electronic scoreboard.
There are more grounds being built around the area for rugby league, where a club like Rouse Hill Rhinos are outgrowing their current field at Kellyville. If Rhinos move, perhaps Bushrangers can have that spot (one full size field and 2 mod fields) to cater for their juniors, and Polecats could move onto Field 4. We might end up with exclusive use of Field 5 if the cards fall the right way. And we would actually like to stay on the top field and make it fulltime Rugby, with our own markings rather than having league paint on there. It actually drains a little better than 3/4 because it is up on the hill
I can see us using Fields 3-5 to host finals or even Kentwell Cup. Only issue with that today: the facility isn't fully enclosed so enforcing gate might take a bit of work.

If subbies put DIV 2 in Sefton again they are more incompetent than this comedy circus currently suggests.

Applications for the Board are in the leadup to the AGM. Get on it, champ.

On a serious note: there are limited grounds that meet the criteria for the finals week, including 2 fields, enclosed facility, and available.
David Phillips is likely to be under development ruling out one field.
Some of the Premier Grounds don't have 2 ovals in their enclosure, and some aren't available due to SRU finals anyway.
Premier finals starts 13th Aug and run for ?4? weeks - so the early weeks of Div 2 where you need Major/Minor/Elimination semis is out of action.
Other facilities that are available with 2 ovals don't have a fence around both, presenting difficulties for ticketing.
The option of having the finals in two separate locations, or two separate days, is kind of ordinary. Running on a single oval presents logistical challenges with 10 games to run in a day for weeks 1 and maybe 2 of the finals series.
I remember finals in the mud at Sefton in 2008 and it was no fun. I don't think anyone wants to play there again.
Once we're down to grand final day everything is peachy.

Throwing “champs” around like that plipzy you’d think you worked in highway patrol with me.

If Sefton is a bit rough for you, perhaps whalan where the subbies 7s was a few years back would be more to your liking. 6 fields and all!
Not sure your gps extends that far west though.

My comment is in relation to its geographic location in a comp that is predominantly centred around clubs in the north and north west of Sydney. If subbies want finals to be played in from of no crowds then thats their decision.

SWRU 7s cancelled for Sunday based on the forecast. Dang. May not get on for Subbies Womens 7s on the 9th either looking ahead to next week.
A few changes already:

Div 4 - Canterbury have forfeited both grades and Oysters v Epping will now be on the plastic at Easts. Have the boys wear their skins @Prodigy !

Constable Dark’s Tips from the station
manly v Canterbury
Forfeit
mac uni v merrlands
the two most electric teams in the comp, get those cameras rolling it’s sure to be filled with a full 80 of highlights. The chaps from the land of merry won’t let this one slip through the bars for them but uni to put up a fight in what should be a great display of top tier, champagne cask style div 4 suburban rugby!
Merrymen win 14-5
Oysters v Rams
Top of the table clash here and I think match of the round!
Epping too big, too slick here plus
Lambs are heaps tastier than rotten old oysters, epping to win 17-7
Chatswood v saints
Battle of the duds here I’ll tip the throbbing stags to beat the taints in a boring penalty filled game
Chatswood win 9-5
renegades v Hawkesbury
Look out look out here come the rouse hill penetrators, I’ve said it before I’ll say it again there’s something bubbling out there at smellyville and this is the game to get it started, rouse hill win 12-3
Raptors redfield
Home game for the raptors here suits best after a bit of a sit down to wee type performance last week against the blue and gold banana’s, if they show up and hold the ball for 80 there’s no way the soy bean brigade from dural can stop them. That’s a big “if” though
Raptors to win 21-7

There’s no doubt it’ll be a spectacle, especially in the wet! Big bodies, big hits, backline flair what more could the people want! Drop my drawers and call me Tiffany where do I sign up

I thought it was a designated wet weather weekend coming up? If so, then it will be named appropriately...

Division 4 draw had Round 10 next weekend - we didn't have another wet weather until July 30. It is so finals can be staggered given the number of suitable venues for a Top 6 across every comp. Chatswood v Saints will be shifted to July 30 I assume.
The fixtures to catch up from other divisions are:
Div 1: Colleagues v Forest, Mosman v Petersham, Waverley v Knox - all from yesterday, I assume going to next week.
Div 2:
From Round 4: Newport v Blacktown, Harlequins v Old Barker - both scheduled for Saturday
(Harlequins v Lindfield will be moved to Aug 6th)
Div 5:
From Round 1: Kings OB v Brothers
From yesterday: Burraneer v Menai, Irish v Balmain, Sea Lice v Brothers - this last one is going to be an issue given Brothers are already booked for Saturday.
Here's the forecast for the next week over the CBD. Bit of respite toward the end of the week, but grounds will still be moist at the least.
