Heathfield Oval is home to the Mount Lofty District Football Club (MLDFC) and we have collaborated with the Mount Lofty District Community Sports Club (MLDCSC) on behalf of the Hills community to deliver an electronic scoreboard in 2024 that will benefit the entire Mount Lofty District in the sports and recreation area.

As part of the Adelaide Hills Council Masterplan for the improvement of facilities at Heathfield High School and Heathfield Oval an upgraded scoreboard on Heathfield Oval is required. The existing scoreboard was demolished in 2022 as it interfered with the upgrade of the Heathfield Oval Cricket pitch facility. The MLDFC have been using a temporary solution since 2022, which is a health and safety risk, requires constant maintenance, requires volunteers to man and is unusable by the broader community for events. Therefore, we are seeking financial support from council to erect a 4.48mW x 2.56mH LED scoreboard including steel framework, footings, and electrical works. Total estimated cost of the project is $107,748.

The MLDFC has received a grant from the South Australian Football Facilities Fund of $25,000 however there is a funding shortfall, hence we are seeking further funds to complete the project. Our shortfall is currently $55,000
