More improved netball courts
In October last year, a $15,649 grant from the State Government was
announced for the resurfacing of the netball court at the Gordon
Recreation Reserve.
Planning for the resurfacing of the Gordon netball court is
underway. The project will provide the club with a new surface and
sufficient runoff space to meet international standards.
The resurfacing of the Wallace netball court was funded by Council
through its 2006/2007 budget. The resurfacing of the court is now
complete with the Wallace Recreation Reserve Committee of
Management and the Springbank Football Netball Club currently
putting finishing touches on the new facility.
