WAGGA WAGGA, Australia – Australian-made erosion control brand Geohex has secured naming rights for Wagga Wagga’s premier rectangle sporting venue, and the home of Rugby League in the city, now officially known as Geohex Park, in a deal set to run for at least three years, with an option to extend until 2030.

Geohex founder and Managing Director Matthew Holloway says the partnership aligns perfectly with the company’s mission to grow its regional presence while supporting grassroots sport.

“Geohex is already the go-to solution for farmers and developers seeking a durable, sustainable way to stabilise soil and turf. From feedlots and stockyards to horse arenas and rural driveways, we’re helping regional Australia tackle erosion effectively,” Matthew says.

“With a population of over 150,000, the Riverina is an ideal place for us to make a meaningful impact. Partnering with one of the region’s premier sporting hubs allows us to connect with the local community, raise awareness of our product, and give back to regional sport.”

Wagga Wagga City Council resolved at its meeting on 22 July 2024 to enter into an agreement with Wagga Rugby League Inc. to sell the naming rights for Field 2A at the Wagga Wagga Exhibition Centre.

Manager City Growth & Regional Assets Ben Creighton said Council acknowledges the importance of the partnership between Wagga Rugby League and Geohex.

“The support that Geohex is providing Wagga Rugby League will allow the organisation to continue to invest in the future development of one of the leading regional rectangular sporting facilities in the country,” Mr Creighton says.

“These partnerships are vital in ensuring the venue continues to attract elite sporting events while also supporting our local and regional, and school level athletes.”

Geohex also plans to showcase its product at the stadium, giving fans and visitors a chance to see it in action.

“Expect to spot Geohex in use at home games this season,” Matthew adds. “Our team and local distributors are eager to engage with the community and demonstrate how we’re leading the way in sustainable plastic innovation.”
