A series of sporting infrastructure upgrades in Wyndham, including a resurfaced BMX start hill, lighting upgrades and barrier netting have been recently completed or are under way.
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 council 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 one 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.
In Point Cook, works are under way on barrier netting at Saltwater Reserve, with goal netting to follow at Tarneit’s Goddard Street Reserve.
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 one and new lighting for Williams Landing Reserve oval one and Saltwater Reserve tennis courts (courts five-eight).
“These kinds of upgrades can significantly enhance the player and spectator experience at our sporting venues.”
