Bunbury's Hay Park netball courts have been transformed through the Cook Government's PlayOn WA initiative which is strengthening community sporting infrastructure across the State.
The major refurbishment has delivered modern facilities for the Bunbury Netball Association with the reconfiguration of 14 aging courts to 12 new courts that meet national standards.
This includes two multi-use courts to provide opportunities for basketball activities.
The project also included upgrades to drainage and fencing and the installation of six new LED light towers to replace ageing infrastructure and allow more games to be played year-round.
Supported by $532,000 from the State Government's Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund the project was completed in partnership with the City of Bunbury and the Bunbury Netball Association.
The Bunbury revamp forms part of the State Government's PlayOn WA initiative to deliver 2,030 community sports infrastructure items across WA by the year 2030.
PlayOn WA is ensuring sport and recreation facilities keep pace with growing communities, support active lifestyles and provide inclusive spaces where Western Australians of all ages and abilities can connect, grow and move.
This ongoing investment is creating healthier, more connected communities through the delivery of accessible sport and recreation spaces for all Western Australians.
As stated by Deputy Premier Rita Saffioti:
"Hay Park's netball courts have been completely transformed, and it is great to see the Bunbury community embracing these incredible new facilities.
"Our government is committed to delivering high quality, inclusive sport and recreation facilities for all Western Australians through our PlayOn WA initiative.
"Investing in local sporting infrastructure is key to building healthy and connected communities with upgrades like this delivering lasting benefits for locals."
As stated by Bunbury MLA Don Punch:
"The Cook Government is proud to have helped deliver this important local project as part of our commitment to ensuring all Western Australians have access to quality sporting facilities, no matter where they live.
"These upgrades ensure Hay Park's netball courts are modern and fit for purpose, providing a safe environment for local players, officials and spectators for many years to come."
