DIAB Engineering donated 18 acres of land from their Edward Road property in Geraldton to the local Geraldton Rovers football club. This move helped the club increase space for an activity that is surprisingly unrelated to football: farming.
The Rovers have been carrying out a unique method of fundraising for over eight years. Through growing wheat on the club’s land, they generate vital funds that are invested into the club each year, contributing to ongoing management and providing budget for improvements and upgrades when required.
The donation from DIAB increased their total amount of land to 100 hectares, which is spread across three paddocks. This year, thanks to DIAB, the Rovers were able to harvest their largest crop yet, raising enough money to complete an overhaul of their changerooms. This project was carried out in partnership with the City of Greater Geraldton and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries — seeing the completion of much-needed, dedicated female changing facilities.
