THE OLDEST cricket club in the Murraylands, Monarto Cricket Club established in 1884, is seeking support for a new licence to secure the oval on Beatty Terrace, Murray Bridge.

The Rural City of Murray Bridge is proposing a ten year licence with Monarto Cricket Club Inc to allow Club members to continue using Homburg Oval as a home base.

Acting Chief Executive Officer Heather Barclay said public consultation for licencing the oval was a legislative requirement to ensure the community was satisfied with the use of the facilities.

“Monarto Cricket Club is a popular sporting body in this community,” she said.
“The club is a member of the Murray Town Cricket Association and took out the 2018-19 Premiers A Grade and B Grade division, back to back.”

The Monarto Cricket Club Licence public consultation opens today.

The feedback form and map are available on Council’s consultation portal letstalk.sa.gov.au, and paper copies can be found at the Local Government Centre and the Murray Bridge Library.

This consultation closes 3pm Friday 7 July 2023.
