Construction of the new floor at Haddon Recreation Centre is underway with Mayor Cr Owen Sharkey and Member for Buninyong Michaela Settle MP meeting on site to view the works yesterday, Tuesday 17 December.
The long-awaited project to replace the existing one-court stadium floor with new timber flooring and line-marking is fully funded by the State Government. Golden Plains Shire Council lobbied for many years for government investment in this project, and welcomed the commitment in the State Government election campaign in 2018.
The Haddon Recreation Centre is a popular facility for localised sport, and recreational programs and services for the Haddon community. Students from the neighbouring Haddon Primary School regularly use the Centre, and it is home to the Haddon Badminton Club, as well as a variety of active recreation activities.
The new stadium floor will deliver a level and even playing surface that will be safer for all users and will require less repair and maintenance in the future.
