Harley Hammond Reserve in Broadford is taking shape as a new hub for community sport and recreation, with demolition of the old netball courts now well underway.
The works mark a major milestone in the Harley Hammond Reserve Netball Courts and Lighting Upgrade and Play Space Project, which will deliver two state-of-the-art netball courts with competition-level lighting.
The upgrade will support Broadford's growing netball community, including the Broadford Football Netball Club, Broadford Junior Football Netball Club, and Broadford Netball Club, providing safe, high-quality facilities for players of all ages and abilities.
A new play space will also be constructed adjacent to the courts early next year, offering expanded recreational opportunities for local families.
To ensure safety during construction, footpaths next to the courts on Powlett and Gavan streets will be partially closed at points during the project, with detours in place for pedestrians.
The $1.67 million project is funded through $967,250 from the Australian Government's Play Our Way Program, with Mitchell Shire Council contributing $200,000.
All works are expected to be completed by June 2026.
