The construction of the Bosnian cultural and recreational centre in Beechboro started in 1994 when the community reached a substantial size. Two grants from the Lotteries Commission, and two smaller grants from the Shire of Swan and the Ministry of Sport and Recreation were obtained for the building of the community centre. The rest was the work of volunteers from the refugee community: builders, tilers, plumbers, as well as unskilled labourers, men as well as women. The Bosnian Centre in Beechboro was officially opened in November 1998 in the presence of local and state politicians. The soccer pitch, where Bosnian youths gather most nights, was opened in November 2000. Monthly community events have also been organised in the club.
