UPDATED: 28 March 2025 partnership details and timeline

Improving our local sporting facilities is one of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.

What is happening?

In partnership with the Australian Government through the Play Our Way Funding Program, we're upgrading the netball courts and flood lighting at Wonga Park Reserve, Wonga Park.

The project will involve:

Stage 1

reconstructing the netball courts with compliant courts of play, lighting, fencing, and additional space for basketball
stabilising the embankments around the courts and addressing overgrown vegetation
removal of the timber bridge beside the existing netball courts
new player shelters

Stage 2

a new small sized facility to service the netball courts, including toilets, a multi-purpose change space, storage, drinking station, and scorer's shelter.

This project will be delivered as part of our 2025/26 Capital Works Program.

Where are the works?

Works will take place at the Wonga Park Netball Courts at Wonga Park Reserve, Wonga Park.

When will the works happen?

Stage 1 construction is scheduled to begin in June 2025 with an expected duration of five months. This schedule is subject to weather conditions.

Stage 2 will follow the completion of Stage 1 works.

Why are the works needed?

The need to upgrade this facility was identified through a Netball Victoria Facility Audit and is planned as part of our Wonga Park Reserve Masterplan.

The existing facilities, including lighting, must be upgraded to comply with the latest Netball Victoria and industry guidelines.

The project will also provide new player shelters and a multipurpose facility, including a toilet and scorers shelter to support local clubs and communities who use the facility.
