Federal Member for Gellibrand Tim Watts said the new floodlights would be an important amenity for the high-performing hockey club in Melbourne’s West, while encouraging new players to get active.

“We have a very active community in Melbourne’s West and I’m glad to be supporting Altona Hockey Club’s lighting upgrade so they can attract members and foster inclusion of more women and girls in the sport,” Mr Watts said.

“We’re building better facilities because we have a vision for building Australia’s future.  

“Field hockey was my first sporting love, so I’m pleased that the Albanese Government is investing in safe and accessible facilities to support both existing players and locals joining the sport for the first time.

“The upgraded floodlights will help the club foster more sporting talent to continue the series of national representatives the club has generated in recent years, including current Kookaburra, Cooper Burns.” 

2023 Altona Hockey Club Annual Report

Altona Hockey Club Board Member and Premier League women’s player Bronte Kerly said the new floodlights will allow the club to expand its operations and give a boost to its women’s and junior girls’ sides.  

“Feeling safe and comfortable is one of the key barriers for female-identifying players to stay in sport,” she said.

“The 13 to 18-year age groups are particularly vulnerable to dropping out for these reasons, so quality lighting at night will help to create a safer atmosphere, whilst the improved visibility from these lights will help minimise risk of injury for all players during night trainings and games.

“These new lights will also enable the club to host a higher standard of hockey – such as Premier League – for night games, giving our women and girls section greater local exposure to performance hockey pathways.”

The new floodlights will complement Hobsons Bay City Council’s upgrades to the council-owned facility, which involve developing a new pavilion, including four change rooms, umpire facilities, multi-purpose space and storage.  

Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.

2025 Kookaburras Squad featuring Cooper Burns

Cooper Burns has been selected in the 2025 Kookaburras squad and is joined by both Connar Otterbach and Nye Roberts in the Kookaburras wider squad, all of which will have the chance to train with the National set-up.

It is incredible news for all three, with Cooper inline to make his debut in 2025, potentially at the Pro-League in Sydney in February.

Connar Otterbach has retained his spot after being a development squad member in 2024, with strong performances both at training camps and at Hockey One after returning from injury. Connar will be hoping to make the push for senior selection in the coming months.

Nye joins Cooper & Connar in the Australian Senior National set-up following a successful Junior World Cup in 2023 and strong performances for both the Burras and HC Melbourne in 2024.

As a club we couldn’t be prouder of all three, the way they handle themselves and the amount of work they put into their hockey. This is great recognition for that work, and we can’t wait to see what they can do at this level.

The selections will come no surprise to any Altona members who have been following the three closely for both Altona and HC Melbourne with the level of performance they put in week in, week out.
Cooper becomes our first home grown Kookaburra from the AHC junior system since Luke Doerner, and the first concurrent member of Altona and the Kookaburras since Jason and Darren Duff in the 90’s.

The Altona Hockey Club is proud to present the 2023-2024 Annual Report:

2023 Altona Hockey Club Annual Report

President’s Year in Review

2024 was a year we saw some exceptional performances for our club as well as another record number of representatives (including many in Australian teams). We welcomed several new sponsors aboard, and launched our inaugural reunion round to ensure our former members are always welcome back at the A’s.

We got a new electronic scoreboard, courtesy of the Westgate Tunnel Neighbourhood Fund. We also thank our sponsors Werribee Steel and Burlin Electrical for their contribution to this project. We were also lucky to have our local member, and Minister for Roads, the Hon. Melissa Horne, officially open the scoreboard.

2024 marks the end of one era, and the beginning of a new exciting chapter in our Club’s history. We are about to bid farewell to our pavilion, which will be demolished over summer and replaced by a new, state of the art facility in 2025.

While many of us will miss the old rooms, as quaint as they are, it will be fitting that one of Victoria’s leading hockey clubs finally has a pavilion that we deserve.

We thank Hobsons Bay City Council for their budget allocation and work on this project. Andrew Meiers, and previously David Burns, were instrumental in getting this project over the line. Riley Faulkner and Richard Samuels assisted with the planning stage as well.

While our ability to churn out representative players and continue to play finals hockey across the club amazes the Victorian hockey community, we need to grow our junior section to ensure we continue to produce future Altona champions at all levels.

Growing our club, at all levels, is something we all play a part in. You can all recruit your friends, welcome back past players and make new players feel the Altona welcome, when they join.

Our Junior Development sessions on Monday nights were well received by juniors and their parents. Our Seagulls Program pilot at U/10s level saw some fantastic skill development and will be rolled out to all junior levels in 2025.

We are lucky to have so many exceptional coaches and representative players bringing their experiences back to Altona to improve our current and future players. Thank you to all the sponsors, coaches, volunteers and of course, our players, for a wonderful year.

Our Club is a wonderful place because of how everyone helps each other, putting their hand up to get jobs done. It’s the Altona Way. If you can help in any part of the club, please let me know.

We have already started preparing for 2025, and look forward to opening our new Clubrooms with a successful season on and off the field.

Brian Fanning, President, Altona Hockey Club
