DESIGNS for a new pavilion at the Dales Park netball centre are set to be prepared as part of a $4.5 million revitalisation.
Kingston councillors resolved on 26 November to bring forward $200,000 from their budget allocation into this year to get started on preparing detailed design work on the project.
The project recently received a $500,000 state government grant.
Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said “upgrades to the pavilion will have long lasting benefits for the 1,500 players who use Dales Park. The new pavilion will replace the aging infrastructure, reinvigorate the site and encourage better participation in local sport for women and girls. This will boost local netball and help the 13 netball clubs who use Dales Park to retain and attract new members.”
Upgrade works are set to replace change rooms, meeting rooms, and construct a new social area.
Chadwick Reserve in Dingley Village is also one of the next in line to receive some attention, with Kingston Council set to hold a community consultation session on the “multi-million dollar upgrade”.
Residents can make their voice heard at Chadwick Reserve on Thursday, 6 December, 5pm-7pm.
The upgrade is proposed to provide “female friendly change rooms, disability access, umpire’s facilities, a community room, an improved playing surface on the junior oval and training area, lighting for the playing areas, and a new playground and shared paths.”
