I was proud to attend the recent official opening of the upgraded facilities at Springvale Reserve.
The $2.3 million upgrade project was recently completed and includes:
- 150 LUX LED lighting and two coaches’ boxes for the oval.
- Two new acrylic-surface netball courts with 200 LUX lighting, four player shelters, two scorer shelters, goalposts, and fencing, significantly improving local female-friendly access to sport.
- A new playground featuring a play tower, swings, rocker, spinner, and cubby house.
- Upgrades to the pavilion kitchen and canteen, including the installation of a new servery window.
These improved facilities will greatly benefit the Springvale Districts Football and Netball Club and the Silverton Cricket Club, providing enhanced spaces for sport, recreation, and community gatherings. Entire families now enjoy playing sports simultaneously at Springvale Reserve.
Looking forward, our 2025–26 Budget includes additional funding of $453,000 to further upgrade the Springvale Reserve Pavilion Social Room. This project will make the pavilion more welcoming and accessible for all users.
Additionally, there is $146,000 allocated for a new synthetic cricket wicket at Warner Reserve.
These upgrades provide our residents with more opportunities to remain active and healthy throughout the year.
I recommend residents check out the new Customer Request dashboard on our website. It shows our performance, and the number of customer requests actioned each month. You can read more about this on page 14.
