The club moved again, to the western fields in 2006, which is where they still are today.
The 1992 Kawana side was coached by Ken Mclean, and after a successful season finished the league in third spot behind the dominant teams in the early 1990s of Buderim and Beegees.

Season 2020 was disrupted by the worldwide COVID 19 pandemic, which caused the season to be paused for 4 months between April and July. This then caused the season dates to be extended and due to the fact the season went into November the decision was made to not have a finals series for 2020. 2021 was also disrupted due to COVID but only towards the end of the season causing the finals series to be pushed back a few weeks into October, which was again successful for the club beating Woombye 2-0 in the grand final and saw Dylan Firth win his 3rd Clive Finn medal, for player of the grand final (2016, 2019*, 2021). *Joint winner with Brendan Martin.
