Shoalhaven City Council – Park Road Netball Courts
Published 19 January 2023
Issue
Shoalhaven Netball Association and Shoalhaven City Council identified that several of the netball courts at Park Road, Nowra had been impacted by cracking and surface deterioration. This reduced the number of courts available for both local and representative competitions and was affecting the ability of the community to engage in this sport.
How we helped
Funding was provided to redevelop the courts which saw the full replacement of 6 of 12 courts and the resurfacing of the remaining 6 courts with new plexipave material, providing a better playing experience in terms of texture, longevity, and athletic capability. Upgrades to the facility also included floodlighting, accessible parking, seating, and fencing.
This redevelopment of the netball courts was an important part of Council’s plan to provide accessible community facilities.
Client feedback
“The netball courts are a popular recreational facility used by all ages in our community. The project highlights Council’s ongoing commitment to providing accessible recreational facilities that promote active and healthy communities.”
