Kicking goals on sporting infrastructure upgrades

Wyndham City is nearing the finish line on a series of sporting infrastructure upgrades, with a resurfaced BMX start hill, lighting upgrades and barrier netting just some of the projects recently completed or underway.

The Wyndham Warriors BMX track in Hoppers Crossing has received a new lease on life following work to resurface the start hill, providing a smoother surface that not only enhances the track's safety but also ensures it is competition ready.

Over at Williams Landing Reserve, Wyndham City has installed fences around the soccer pitches as a safety measure to prevent balls from going on roads and people chasing after them.

Galvin Park soccer pitch 1 has received an illuminating upgrade with lighting installed, allowing for evening training and matches.

Meanwhile, the installation of lighting at Price Reserve in Werribee South is close to completion and works are underway on barrier netting at Saltwater Reserve in Point Cook, with goal netting to follow at Tarneit’s Goddard Street Reserve.

Wyndham City Active City portfolio holder Councillor Peter Maynard said these important works delivered massive benefits to Wyndham’s host sporting clubs, spectators and visiting teams.

“These upgrades are part of Wyndham City's ongoing commitment to providing state-of-the-art sporting venues for our community,” Cr Maynard said.

“Previously completed works include the installation of an electronic scoreboard and new player shelters at the Grange Reserve in Hoppers Crossing, new park bench seats at Truganina’s Arndell Park Reserve and synthetic matting at the Victoria University Sporting Complex in Werribee.”

“And there’s more to come, with construction to commence shortly on lighting renewal at Galvin Park oval 1 and new lighting for Williams Landing Reserve oval 1 and Saltwater Reserve tennis courts (courts 5-8).”

“These kinds of upgrades can significantly enhance the player and spectator experience at our sporting venues.”
