We are repairing and re-surfacing the netball courts at Banyul-Warri Fields in Torquay.
The courts are a highly used community facility and home to the Surf Coast Suns.
Funded from Council's 2025-26 asset renewal budget, works will include:
- repairs to remove damaged and cracked sections of asphalt;
- levelling of uneven areas of the surface to prevent pooling of water; and
- re-surfacing with a blue Synpave acrylic sports surface.
The project also includes replacement of goal posts and goal post sleeves across each of the three courts.
The renewal is expected to be finished before Christmas, ahead of the Suns' entry to the Bellarine Football Netball League's senior competition in 2026.
The courts will be closed while works take place.
This project follows reconstruction of the courts at Stribling Reserve in Lorne, Eastern Reserve in Winchelsea and Ellimatta Reserve in Anglesea earlier this year.
Councillor Paul Barker said Council is investing in renewal of courts across the Shire due to their degradation.
"This renewal project is timely given the busy year ahead for the Surf Coast Suns as they start their senior program," Cr Barker said.
The re-surfaced courts will undergo slip resistance testing by a National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accredited company to ensure their safety before being re-opened.
