In 2005 the club was relocated from its original home-ground HLT Oulton Park by the local council who conducted major redevelopment works at the site. Darebin United has since operated out of Mayer Park, located beside Northcote Gold Course.
2010 saw a drastic restructure of the fledgling club with the appointment of a new committee. The changes led to improved performances on the field and steady management off it was highlighted by a period of rapid promotion up to the Victorian State League 3.
