Bullioh-Wyeeboo Female Friendly Facility

Why is this project being undertaken?

There are currently limited facilities for netballers at the Bullioh / Wyeeboo Recreation Reserve and these are located some distance away from the two netball courts, this leads to issues such as there being an inadequate amount of time during breaks in matches for players, umpires and officials to use the amenities, meaning delays in start times and overall scheduling disruption.

There is currently no storage at the netball courts for equipment, and there is little shelter for 100 plus supporters who attend matches at the recreation reserve. The pavilion will be constructed adjacent to the netball courts and close to the football oval with a verandah along the eastern and western sides of the building creating undercover spectator areas for both the netball courts and football oval, benefitting all user groups.

The project supports Council Plan objectives 2.2, and 2.4 by enhancing our community’s access to safe, modern recreation facilities and strengthening the vibrancy of our smaller townships.
