Football Queensland Central Coast is the regional office of Football Queensland servicing the areas between Gladstone, Rockhampton and Longreach. The FQ Central Coast regional office has a local administrator and committee members which are elected by clubs to meet quarterly to discuss functional and geographical matters.
History
editFootball Queensland Central Coast was established in 2021 as part of Football Queensland's Future of Football 2020+ Reforms.[1] As part of the reform process, a six-month state-wide consultation with the local football community took place with the aim of improving four key areas of the game: Governance, Administration, Competitions, and Affordability. Following the consultation, FQ Central Coast was created to better reflect the geography and strategic direction of the region.
As part of this change, the central Queensland Premier League was replaced by the FQPL Central Coast men's and women's competitions from the 2022 season.[1][2]
Clubs and competitions
editThe Premier competitions in the region are the FQPL 3 Central Coast Men's and FQPL Central Coast Women's, both of which form part of the Central Conference in the Football Queensland pyramid.[2]
