Knox Council waves fees for sports clubs

Knox City Council have waived hire, license and lease fees for community non-for profit sports teams with a lease in a council facility.

Sporting teams in Boronia, Ferntree Gully, the Basin and the Knox City area will be able to access the stage 5 relief packages.

The package will include waiving all hire, license and lease fees for community groups in a Council building until 31 December 2021, and Pro-rate hire charges from Jan 2022 depending on State Government restrictions on community sport.

Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club has benefited from the relief package.

“Thank you to Knox City Council for their tremendous support during the last two years of the pandemic,” the club posted on Facebook.

“Through grants funding and waiving of fees, landscape improvements and facilities upgrades, the councillors and council officers have helped the club get through the tough times.”
