π PARKING UPDATE β WALKER STREET π
At the request of Bundaberg Regional Council, weβre asking everyone attending Salter Oval to please take a little extra care when parking along Walker Street, particularly at the Hungry Jackβs end of the grounds.
Council has approached BJRL following concerns about vehicles being angle parked, blocking driveways and impacting the safe flow of traffic in this area.
BJRL has discussed possible options with Council, including additional No Parking signage or line marking. At this stage, we have been advised that permanent parking restrictions are not considered warranted as the issue predominantly occurs during the football season.
In the meantime, we need your help. π
When parking along Walker Street, please ensure you:
π Parallel park only
π Keep all residential driveways completely clear
π¦ Do not park in a way that obstructs or impacts traffic flow
πͺ§ Follow all existing signage and normal road rules
BJRL has also advised Council that police patrols of the area may assist during busy football periods, particularly where vehicles continue to be parked incorrectly despite these reminders. Any enforcement of parking or road rules would, of course, be a matter for the appropriate authorities.
We completely understand that parking around Salter Oval can become very busy on game days, particularly during our bigger Sundays. We also want to be good neighbours to the residents surrounding our grounds and work cooperatively with Council to ensure everyone can access the area safely.
Weβre doing our part by getting the message out β now weβre asking everyone who visits Salter Oval to please do theirs. β€οΈπ€π€
A little consideration goes a long way, and hopefully with everyone working together, this doesnβt need to become a bigger issue.
Thanks everyone for your cooperation, and please share this with your teams and families before heading to Salter Oval.

ππ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GAYE! ππ
Today we're celebrating someone who gives so much to our rugby league family... our incredible Chairperson, Gaye! β€οΈπ€
If you're at Salter Oval today, keep your eyes peeled for the π Birthday Buggy π and make sure you stop to wish Gaye a very Happy Birthday!
Week after week, Gaye is one of the first to arrive and one of the last to leave. Whether she's wearing her Chairperson hat, running games as Games Controller, setting fields up before the first whistle, packing everything away after the last game, or quietly making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes... she does it all without asking for recognition.
Today, let's change that.
If you see Gaye around the grounds, take a moment to say Happy Birthday, give her a wave, a smile, a high five or a hug. It's a small way we can say thank you for the countless hours, dedication and heart she pours into Bundaberg Junior Rugby League every single week.
From all of us at BJRL, we hope you have an absolutely fantastic day. We appreciate everything you do, and our league simply wouldn't be the same without you.
ππ Happy Birthday, Gaye! We hope your day is as amazing as you are! β€οΈπ€π»
