OUR GOAL
Collaborating to build partnerships for a better future.
Exploring Meaningful Partnerships to Shape the Future of Communities and Business
At Coulson Operations, we believe in the power of sport to unite communities, foster growth, and inspire positive change. Our partnerships with AFL clubs, such as the Gold Coast SUNS and the Western Bulldogs, are just the beginning of our commitment to creating spaces that serve not only the athletes but also the fans, families, and local communities. Through these collaborations, we aim to deliver outstanding facilities that enhance community engagement and provide lasting benefits for generations to come.
AFL Partnership with Gold Coast SUNS
Our partnership with the Gold Coast SUNS reflects our shared vision of blending sport and community impact. With three centres now open, we’re proud to offer unique experiences — from mini guernseys with every enrolment to special visits and exclusive game ticket offers for local families. This model has been a rewarding way to connect sport with early learning, and we’re excited to continue expanding it with more AFL clubs in the future.
Designed to meet community needs and embody the SUNS’ values, these centres create enriching early learning environments that foster teamwork, growth, and achievement — core principles we share with our AFL partners.
AFL Partnership with Western Bulldogs
Opening in late 2025, Kool Beanz Bulldogs marks our first Victorian centre and an exciting new chapter in partnership with the Western Bulldogs. United by shared values of community, connection, and helping young people flourish, this collaboration brings a one-of-a-kind early learning experience to the heart of Footscray.
More than just a childcare centre, Kool Beanz Bulldogs blends AFL passion with purpose-built education. Through play-based learning, tailored programs support each child’s social and emotional development in a warm, inclusive environment. Children will enjoy Bulldogs-themed play spaces, visits from club mascots and players, and a strong sense of belonging rooted in the club’s community-first spirit.
Together with the Western Bulldogs, we’re creating something truly special for families in Melbourne’s west, where local pride, healthy habits, and lifelong learning go hand in hand.
Future Expansions & New Partnerships
Our sporting partnerships don’t stop here. As a forward-thinking business, we are always on the lookout for opportunities to expand into new collaborations with other AFL clubs and beyond. We’re excited about the possibilities that lie ahead as we continue to build more centres in partnership with AFL teams, bringing new educational and community-focused spaces to areas in need.
A Vision for the Future: Expanding Beyond Sport
While we have deep roots in AFL partnerships, Coulson Operations is a visionary company that seeks to collaborate with a range of industries. From expanding into other sports to exploring opportunities in education, property development, and beyond, we’re committed to making a lasting impact on the communities we serve. If you are part of an organisation looking to collaborate with a company that values innovation, community impact, and long-term success, we’d love to hear from you.
