Bunbury Football Club is a semi-professional Australian rules football club based in Bunbury, Western Australia. The club plays in the South West Football League.[1] [2]
The Bunbury Football Club was established in 1892 and was the first Australian rules football club in the Bunbury region.[3] The Bunbury club merged with the Railways Football Club in 1906 to become the Bunbury Railways Football Club, until 1956 when the "Railways" name was omitted. The club's original home ground was the Bunbury Recreation Ground adjacent to Bunbury Back Beach.[4] In 1973 the club relocated to PC Payne Park where clubrooms were established to cater for 200 people. In 1983 extensions incorporated a gymnasium, boardroom, and upstairs function area.[5] In 2019 the club developed plans to improve facilities at PC Payne Park.[6]
