The Rokewood Recreation Reserve Netball and Tennis Court Upgrade is well underway and is set to be complete by early May 2023.
The Rokewood Recreation Reserve Netball and Tennis Court Upgrade project includes the reconstruction of two new courts that will provide line markings for both netball and tennis, along with the introduction of sports lighting for competition use.
The upgrade will also see the installation of new fencing, undercover benches for players, coaches, timekeepers, and spectators. An additional storage structure will also be introduced to increase storage of sporting equipment by user groups.
The works commenced in late January and are on track to be completed and open to the public in May.
Golden Plains Shire Mayor Cr Brett Cunningham recently visited the construction site at the Rokewood Recreation Reserve and was delighted to see the upgrade works get underway.
“The upgrade project at the Rokewood Recreation Reserve supports users of the Rokewood Recreation Reserve and addresses issues related to the previous court’s proximity to the adjacent creek.
“The new netball and tennis courts will provide a safer, more comfortable facility to support participation and will complement the $3.96 million Rokewood Community Hub project to see Rokewood Recreation Reserve become a truly first-class sporting facility for all users.
“Council is pleased to partner with the Victorian Government to fully fund and deliver this project for the residents of Rokewood, and visitors.”
The $751,000 project received $433,666 from the Victorian Government’s Local Sports Infrastructure Fund Female Friendly Facilities category.
In addition, Council has contributed $317,334 to complete the funding for this partnership project with significant project delivery support also provided by the user groups at Rokewood Recreation Reserve.
