Underwater hockey will restart in the newly refurbished Norville Park Pool on Wednesday 20th September 2017. The initial playing times will be 5:30pm to 6:30pm. Due to the refurbishments, the pool now has a new playing surface and the water is an additional 200mm deeper.

In June 2017 the Queensland Government released the Sustainable Fisheries Strategy 2017-2027, paving the way for Queensland to have a world-class fisheries management system.
