Roy Dore Reserve Netball Facilities Upgrade

As part of Council’s ongoing investment in sport and recreation facilities and commitment to increasing female participation in sport, in-principle endorsement of the development of outdoor netball facilities at Roy Dore Reserve was provided at the March Council Meeting.

Council is seeking your feedback on the proposal to develop two flood-lit outdoor netball courts, players’ shelter and fencing. Please see indicative images below for more information.

The proposed new facilities will allow 19 netball teams (3 senior and 16 junior) to train locally and will be available for community use outside of sports club usage.

Council is holding an information session to keep the community informed about the project. You are invited to drop-in at any time during the session to ask questions, find out more and provide your feedback.

Date: Wednesday 21 April

Time: 6.00pm - 7.30pm
