4979 8270 CORNER WOOD & BELL STREETS, BARNEY POINT YARALLA.COM.AU OURHISTORY Yaralla Sports Club Inc. (formerly Queensland Alumina Sports Club) was formed in 1966 to organise sporting and sports related social activities for a growing number of Queensland Alumina Ltd (QAL) employees and their families. The site occupied by the Club was originally a hostel for single construction workers at QAL. In 1969, QAL made several buildings available for use as interim Club rooms. In subsequent years, with the assistance of QAL, the Club developed significant sporting facilities to provide sporting activities on the hostel site. These sporting facilities are still highly regarded as some of the best in Central Queensland. In 1992 with the Club having a wide community membership base, QAL believed it was appropriate to grant the Club House independence. Accordingly, the Club became incorporated in its own right as a sporting facility and was renamed Yaralla Sports Club Inc. The Club has a current membership base of approximately 45,000 members with twelve active sports Sub-Committees involving a wide range of activities such as Lawn Bowls, Cricket, Baseball, Hockey, Basketball, Softball, Netball, Soccer and Deep Sea Fishing. In 2001 the Club commenced the first of six stages of an ambitious development program spanning 12 years. The renovations have seen the Club evolve into a first class dining, entertainment and gaming facility. Today Yaralla offers two restaurants, a cafe, bottle shop, five function spaces, a gaming room featuring over 100 machines, a canteen for Sub Clubs, two fitness centres, a 4-star Mercure Hotel and 297 sealed car parking spaces. To date $28 million has been reinvested back into the Club to ensure its members have access to the best facilities available in Central Queensland. Yaralla Sports Club currently employs approximately 140 people from the Gladstone area. In 2011 the Club became a training ground for school based trainees and apprentices with the establishment of the Central Queensland Tourism and Hospitality Academy. The Academy provided students with the opportunity to earn certification in Hospitality, Kitchen Operations, Commercial Cookery, Fitness, Training and Assessing, and Management. Through its programs, students of the Academy received a great head start in their careers by the time they complete their schooling. Since its inception 183 students have received training through the Academy. The next adventure we are hoping to undertake, is to bring Gladstone Cinemas to the Yaralla Sports Club complex. The new premises will extend onto Yaralla Sports Club, to become the finest accommodation, dining and entertainment precinct in Gladstone. Scheduled to draw the curtains on the new Cinema’s home for the first time in 2021, there’s still a lot of work to be done, but the reaction from the community so far has been enormously supportive. Not only will parking be easier and more dining options available, but by the time the doors open, the movie experience will also leave the movie goer awestruck by the audio and visual feast. They will be able to stay longer and enjoy the company of friends and family; extending the entertainment experience at Yaralla Sports Club’s multifaceted facility, on-site.
