The Diesels will officially unveil the new amenities block at Laurie Daley Oval before the clash with Gundagai on Saturday. They will be named for the former New Zealand international.
Junee captain-coach Trent Schubach believes it is a fitting tribute by the club.
"He was one of the club greats, did a lot for the club over the years," Schubach said.
"His wife Noreen is still on the committee and still helps up each week in the canteen and wherever she can. It will be great to be able to honour Bill with the grandstand being named after him."
With their season on the line, Schubach is hoping the return of Daniel Foley, Andre Iro and potentially Pat Sweeney can help their chances.
"Gundagai is going to be a tough battle but is always a pretty good game between us," he said.
