The HBBA Management Committee would like to acknowledge Matthew Baker for his five years of dedicated service as President of Hervey Bay Basketball.
Matt stepped into the role during one of the most challenging periods our sport has faced 🦠the COVID era 😬and helped guide the Association through uncertainty with steady leadership, commitment, and a focus on keeping our basketball community connected and moving forward.
Over the past five years, we’ve seen enormous progress across HBBA, including the continued growth and development of our girls competitions, the strengthening of our representative pathways, and the exciting journey toward a long-awaited home, with our new stadium now nearing completion.
Matt’s time as President has been marked by resilience, consistency, and genuine care for the future of basketball in our region. His contribution has helped shape the strong foundations we are building on today.

🏀💜 Special Recognition Award – Kane Macready 💜🏀
The HBBA Management Committee would like to recognise Kane Macready for his tireless dedication to Hervey Bay Basketball over the past two decades.
Kane has been a true pioneer of HBBA and a driving force behind our journey toward a long-awaited home stadium, working alongside the support of local businesses and the @frasercoastregionalcouncil
In 2024, we saw this dream begin to take shape as the project moved from planning into action — and Kane has been right there every step of the way. Kane has generously volunteered his time to project manage the build on behalf of the Association, spending countless hours on-site with trades, sweeping floors, and helping prepare the courts.
As a special tribute to Kane’s contribution, Court 1 will be named “Macready Court” in his honour - a lasting recognition of the impact he has had on basketball in our region. 💜🏀
Our basketball community is incredibly lucky to have someone so committed to the future of the sport in Hervey Bay.
Thank you, Kane, for your ongoing effort, dedication, and drive to help Hervey Bay Basketball grow. 🌪️👏
