Whitehorse News - March 2023
The Sportlink redevelopment project is complete! Construction wrapped up in late February, and the revamped site will be ready for use this month.
The $8.6 million redevelopment was jointly funded by Whitehorse City Council and the Commonwealth Government’s Community Development Grants program, from which Council received $1.5 million.
One of the highlights of this project is the new roof that has been constructed over the outdoor courts and spectator seating, transforming the space into an all-weather venue. The outdoor courts have also been upgraded with an acrylic surface, providing better traction, as well as new and improved lighting.
“Sportlink is used and loved by the community and many sporting groups. These upgrades will allow for extended hours of play and will enhance the experience for both players and spectators,” said Terrara Ward Councillor Raylene Carr.
“The renewed courts can accommodate a wide range of sports and activities from basketball, netball, skating and even roller sports.”
Other key elements of the redevelopment include:
- Landscaping works
- Improved drainage
- Environmentally sustainable design elements, including 300 solar panels on the stadium roof and rainwater harvesting
- Upgraded emergency management infrastructure inside the facility
- Sealing of the gravel car park next to Livingstone Primary School
The redevelopment of Sportlink supports Council’s Recreation Strategy 2015-2024 and Whitehorse Health and Wellbeing Plan 2021-2025.
