Stan Williams Park – Stage 1, Brothers Cairns Rugby League Club

This redevelopment project is set to transform the park into a vibrant community hub—more than just a sports venue, it’s a place designed to bring people together and strengthen connections throughout the Cairns region.

Originally announced in 2022, the project was launched with a clear vision: to honour the legacy of rugby league legend Stan Williams and to create a space that champions sport, celebrates local culture, and encourages youth participation.

Key features of the upgraded facility include a main grandstand with seating for 517 spectators, a ground-level kitchen and bar area with table seating, and a 492m² undercover upper level offering additional seated viewing. The new top floor has a public bar, offices and spectator viewing areas upstairs, as well as new changing rooms, gyms and other sporting facilities downstairs for players.

Stage 2 of the project is set to focus on key upgrades to improve existing field lighting, new scoreboards, additional covered tiered seating, and player & referee dugouts.
