The transformation of Stan Williams Park is moving ahead with renewed momentum. This project has been generously funded by Brothers Cairns. Stage One is a $12 million vision which will revitalise the park into a vibrant, multi-purpose precinct designed to enrich lives and strengthen community connections across the Cairns region.
Originally unveiled in 2022, the redevelopment plans reflect a shared commitment between Brothers Cairns, local leaders, and stakeholders to honour the legacy of Stan Williams—a local rugby league pioneer—and deliver a space that fosters sporting excellence, cultural celebration, and youth engagement. Once completed, the project will feature upgraded playing fields, modern amenities, community gathering spaces, and enhanced accessibility, transforming the park into a state-of-the-art facility for both sport and recreation.
With backing from the Queensland Government already secured, the additional $6 million from the LNP marks Stage Two; another pivotal step in turning this long-held community vision into reality. Brothers Cairns continues to champion this initiative, recognising the profound social and economic impact such a project will bring to Manunda and the wider Far North Queensland region.
Brothers Leagues Club Cairns has welcomed the announcement by the state Liberal National Party (LNP) of a $6 million commitment to assist in the completion of the new Community Sport and Event facility at Manunda Sports Precinct should the party be elected to Government.
Brothers Leagues Club have unveiled plans for a multimillion-dollar transformation to Stan Williams Park – the iconic sporting facility that has served as home ground to generations of young gun Cairns footballers.
