A new netball clubhouse has been confirmed for construction in Bray Park, with recent funding finalised to support the upgrade alongside an earlier financial commitment aimed at modernising community sport infrastructure.
New Facility Planned at Les Hughes Sports Complex
Bray Park is set to receive a new netball clubhouse, with $4.1 million in funding recently confirmed. The project, located at Les Hughes Sports Complex, will serve the Pine Rivers Netball Association and includes a range of new amenities designed to improve usability, safety, and accessibility for players, staff, and visitors.
Background and Context
The current facility, which has supported the local netball community for more than four decades, is set to be replaced. Planning for the upgrade was announced in early 2024, along with an initial $1.5 million funding commitment to support construction during the 2024–26 financial years. This redevelopment is part of ongoing efforts to maintain and enhance active recreation sites across the region.
Project Details and Funding Breakdown
The planned facility will include two change rooms with showers, a timekeeper’s area, office space, a canteen, a clubroom, a barbecue area, a covered deck, and tiered seating. A new car park with 74 spaces will be constructed, featuring accessible bays and an ambulance bay. An existing storage shed will be relocated as part of the works.
Detailed design and procurement are underway. Construction is expected to begin next year, following the completion of the current preparation phase.
Supporting Local Sport in Bray Park
The upgraded clubhouse is designed to meet regional netball standards and accommodate large numbers of players and spectators each week. The project is expected to help support continued participation in the sport, particularly among younger players and their families, while also improving event capacity and scheduling flexibility for competitions and training sessions.
Outlook
With design and funding now in place, the new netball clubhouse in Bray Park is progressing toward construction, aiming to deliver modern facilities that meet the needs of the growing netball community and enhance the overall sporting experience at the complex.
