The tender to construct the final stage of the Baldivis Sports Complex (BSC) was awarded to the MG Group at the 27 August Council Meeting.
The final stage of BSC will cost approximately $9 million and will include eight netball (multipurpose) hard courts, eight tennis courts with floodlighting, and a pavilion to service both the hardcourts and users of the southern grassed playing fields.
The outdoor recreation space will include accessible and sensory play, a ninja circuit and skatepark situated adjacent to the indoor sports complex. It will provide a subdistrict level youth space for a wide range of ages and abilities.
The site has been designed to ensure the wider community, who are not involved in competitive sport, can access and use the facilities.
With contributions from the public during the community consultation phase, undertaken as part of the master planning for the BSC, the design and placement of the outdoor recreation space at the front of the complex provides a connection with the indoor recreation centre and café to encourage use during off peak times.
City of Rockingham Mayor Deb Hamblin said the final stage was an essential part of the overall plan.
“From the outset, the vision for the BSC was to provide an innovative, contemporary, multipurpose sport and recreation facility that can accommodate a wide range of organised sport and informal recreation activities that significantly contribute towards improving the health and wellbeing of Baldivis and the wider Rockingham community,” she said.
The City thanks our major supporter Lotterywest for contributing $1million towards the project.
“Lotterywest is proud to support the City of Rockingham with a grant towards the Baldivis Outdoor Recreation Space, which will raise community connection and participation in Baldivis and surrounding areas,” Lotterywest CEO Colin Smith said.
The Final Stage of the BSC is expected to be completed by December 2025.
