A $7.6 million investment by the Victorian Government will see the launching of the next phase of works on the Olinda Precinct Plan which will include upgrading the existing netball court and building a new netball court and four-wicket cricket training facility, creating more opportunities for local clubs to train and compete.

The new courts will be complete with LED court light and shelter allowing more teams to use the facilities day or night.

Community sporting clubs of Olinda - located within the Dandenong Ranges in central-south Victoria - will soon enjoy the new and upgraded facilities at Olinda Recreation Reserve

Home to the Olinda Ferny Creek Football Netball Club and Olinda Cricket Club – these new practice spaces and competition courts will boost the number of local community members that can take part in the sporting club activities.

This project will benefit the entire community through improving health and wellbeing of club members and stimulating the local economy.

This phase of works will complement the recently completed upgrades to the Olinda sporting oval and nature-based playscape with picnic facilities, that were delivered under the Olinda Precinct Plan.

Since 2014, the State Government has invested more than $1.6 billion in community sport and active recreation infrastructure.
