Players and parents often request information about what the money from their fees pays for.

The committee at Oxley Utd FC can assure all its members that we try to keep our fees as low possible where practical, while at the same time dealing with increasing costs to items such as electricity year in year out.

The club currently covers approximately 80-90% of the clubs outgoing expenses via fees. The club also receives a small level of income from sponsorship and fundraising and has a number of volunteers who help out with ground upkeep etc, which keeps our outgoing expenses as low as is possible.  

A very rough breakdown of outgoing expenses are as follows:

Per Player:

Football Brisbane Insurance: $200 men, $170 women

Referee fees: $130 men, $80 women

Equipment: $60

Other club expenses players and parents need to be aware of that are built into fees (rough approximates)

Bond - Player card fines: $400

Lights: Average of $6000 per year (to cover recent upgrades)

Ground equipment maintenance: $2000

Grounds maintenance: $6000 (Line marking paint, Herbicides, chemicals, fertilizers, irrigation maintenance, etc).

Mower fuel: $1500

Mowing person: $2000

Ref development levy: $1753

FBI Team Nominations: $1200

Club Maintenance: $5000

Vandalism repairs: $1500-$2000 per year

Other club expenses built into fees (which prefer not to publish on the internet…)

BCC Lease

BCC water rates

Power bills (lights, etc)

Cleanaway bins

Purchases of goals, seating and other bigger-ticket items

Coaching

The list goes on…

None of the above factors in the current volunteer labour at the club.
