A Brief history of The Bosnian-Herzegovinian Centre and Heatherton Utd

The Bosnia & Herzegovina Centre Springvale was established in 1993, and soon became a focal point for newly arrived migrants to the South-East of Melbourne. In 1994 members of the Bosnian community purchased a block of land at 482 Springvale Rd, Springvale. We are proud to own these facilities: now consisting of the hall with ample parking space, the canteen, two soccer pitches with lights, etc.
