Any entity be it group, consortium, club or association from within the existing membership of CV or one of its affiliates, is entitled to submit the Expression of Interest to be the proposed new club to complete in the Premier Cricket competition.
To lodge an expression of interest, an entity is required to do as follows:
Cricket Victoria CEO Tony Dodemaide said support from a whole community was crucial in the success of a Premier club.
“The establishment and sustainability of a Premier Club needs many resources and buy-in from stakeholders around their area, much more so than a regular community club,” Dodemaide said.
“It needs that support network around it to make it work.
“Traditionally, Sub-District clubs have been the logical options in the past for new Premier clubs or amalgamations.
“But having said that, North Melbourne went up north and got together with Greenvale, a successful senior VTCA club.
“It’s early days but the fundamentals are pretty good and we expect the club to have a strong future.”
The process for expression of interest follows the approved merger between Dandenong and Hawthorn-Monash University following the current season.
More information on that amalgamation can be found here.
