2025 Dick Menting Community, Sports Club Award – Peter Knox

His contributions have strengthened community ties, provided educational pathways for young people through sport, and supported hundreds of individuals by fostering an inclusive, welcoming, and vibrant environment.
Peter’s motivation has always been clear: to build a welcoming and sustainable community through cricket. His focus goes beyond sport; it’s about using the club as a vehicle to promote wellbeing, belonging, and opportunity. He has continually sought to make Mont Albert Reserve and the cricket club a space where people connect, contribute, and grow—reflecting his belief in grassroots sport as a driver of community strength. His impact is long-lasting, and his presence has helped make Mont Albert not just a place to live—but a community to belong to.
