Gilbert Gordon Oval netball court

  • Project value$1,351,210
  • Project scheduleCompleted
  • Completion Date30 June 2025

The new netball courts are open for public use.

Following a successful funding application to the Victorian Government’s Local Sports Infrastructure Fund, Gilbert Gordon Oval has two new netball courts.

The new courts have replaced the deteriorating netball court and are constructed adjacent to the social room building, making them more visible and accessible from existing reserve facilities.

Location of the new netball courts was confirmed with Council adopting the Gilbert Gordon Oval Master Plan on 22 March 2023.

A Cultural Heritage Management Plan for the project was approved in December 2024.

Court construction commenced in January 2025, with the concrete and acrylic surfacing of the new courts finalised in April. Supporting infrastructure such as player shelters, fencing and pedestrian circulation spaces have also been done.

As part of Council’s funding contribution, this project includes removal of the former netball court.

This project has been made possible through funding from the Victorian Government’s Local Sports Infrastructure Fund, an allocation from Council’s 2021/22 budget, and a contribution from the Woodend Hesket Football Netball Club.
