Eight accessible netball courts have been completed at South Pine Sports Complex in Brendale following a $1.71 million upgrade designed to support the ACE Netball Club and improve facilities at the popular sporting precinct.
Rebuilt Courts Opened In March
The project involved rebuilding the existing courts at South Pine Sports Complex and delivering eight new playing surfaces designed for long-term use.
The upgraded courts were officially opened on Saturday, 7 March 2026, marking the completion of the refurbishment at the well-used sports venue.
The upgrade was undertaken to support the growing ACE Netball Club, which uses the complex as its home base.
Accessibility Improvements Across The Site
Works carried out during the upgrade focused on improving accessibility and usability around the venue.
A ditch that previously separated the clubhouse and the courts was levelled and asphalted to create a continuous path between the facilities. The change makes it easier for players, officials and spectators to move around the courts.
The redevelopment also added new benches and water bubblers across the site to support players and visitors.
Drainage Upgrades For Wet Weather
Drainage improvements were included as part of the works to improve the condition of the courts during wet weather.
The changes aim to make the courts more resilient and usable during periods of rain while maintaining consistent playing conditions.
High-quality playing surfaces were installed as part of the upgrade to support ongoing netball use at the venue.
Supporting A Growing Netball Club
ACE Netball Club operates from South Pine Sports Complex and continues to grow its membership.
Club representatives said the upgraded courts provide a safer and more accessible playing environment for members and help ensure the club can continue to support its players.
Community Reaction
Public comments on the announcement of the upgraded courts included positive responses about the new facilities.
Some commenters also raised suggestions for additional sporting facilities at the complex, including dedicated pickleball courts.
Ongoing Use Of The Complex
South Pine Sports Complex continues to serve as a busy location for community sport.
The completed netball court upgrade is expected to support ongoing club activities and provide improved facilities for players, officials and spectators using the venue in Brendale.
