Keirnan Park Recreation and Sporting Precinct


Project Overview

Plans are progressing on a district sporting precinct for our ever-growing community.

In recognition of the significant population growth in the Shire, an assessment of community infrastructure and public open space needs identified the need for a district sporting space that can also perform a regional function for identified key sporting codes.

Keirnan Park was identified as the most appropriate location for this sport space and this was supported by a decision by the State Government in August 2020 to provide $20 million for a first stage development.

Stage 1 works have been split into two separate sections. These include:

Stage 1A: Multi-use pavilion, entry road, car park and ovals

Stage 1B: BMX Track and Pavilion

    Budget

    $20,000,000
