Werribee Football Club hopes to kick goals off the field next weekend when its custom-built charity house goes up for auction.
The club has spent the past five months building the property at 15 Kayden Court, Werribee.
The three-bedroom house near the Werribee River is the third to be built and auctioned by the club in the past six years.
Members and sponsors have been involved in the project from the beginning, helping with everything from pouring the slab to furnishing the house.
Tigers chief executive Mark Penaluna said proceeds would help fund the club’s community development programs.
“It allows us to continue our involvement in the community,” he said. “We have staff members working in the field assisting with community organisations, local footy clubs and Auskick.
“We’re also working with the federal government to help people from diverse backgrounds become involved in the game, as well as working with the council and police.”
Penaluna said the club had been amazed by the support it received from residents and businesses, including Westwood First National Real Estate, which is auctioning the house.
“It has been a lot of work and now there’s a lot of anticipation in the air,” he said.
The house will be auctioned at noon on Saturday, May 31.
