Rapid population growth in Wyndham has outpaced the development of community and sports infrastructure. Wyndham is underserved by indoor sports facilities, meaning there are limited opportunities to participate in sports such as Basketball, Volleyball, Badminton. Eagle Stadium opened in 2017; however, it has already reached capacity.
This shows the demand for indoor basketball facilities within Wyndham as research conducted for the Wyndham Sports Strategy found that basketball is one of the most popular organised sports in Wyndham.
The suburb of Tarneit is experiencing rapid population growth, with significant demand for high-quality sports and recreation facilities. Current indoor sports infrastructure is insufficient to meet the needs of this growing, diverse community. We’ve heard from Wyndham residents about how important sport and recreation is to their health, wellbeing and connection to our community.
The Tarneit Indoor Sport Facility will establish a major sport, health and wellbeing hub in Wyndham’s north and provide opportunities for community members to participate in indoor sport, gymnastics, dance and fitness activities.
This project will create local jobs, stimulate economic activity, and provide long-term social and recreational benefits for the community. Funding for the Tarneit Indoor Sports Facility is a critical investment in the community infrastructure needed to support Wyndham’s growth.
REQUEST: $30 MILLION FUNDING TOWARDS THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TARNEIT INDOOR SPORTS FACILITY
