Background

Council’s Sports Facilities Strategic Plan, adopted in 2022, identified the need to develop precinct plans to help maximise the use of green space and improve the experience for current and future sportsground users. These locations are:

  • Canterbury Park (including Blick Oval, Campbell Oval, King Street Tennis Courts)
  • Croydon Park (including Croydon Park, Lees Park, Croydon Park Netball Courts, Picken Oval)
  • Jensen Park
  • Punchbowl Park (including Punchbowl Park, Punchbowl Park Tennis Courts).

These sites are currently used for sporting purposes including football (soccer), cricket, rugby league, netball, athletics and tennis. A small amount of free space is also available in these parks for general use.

At each of these locations, Council has identified:

  • high demand for limited open space;
  • significant feedback and requests for upgrades from the local community and sporting groups; and
  • the need for multipurpose open spaces and amenity.

This proposal

We’re planning for the future needs of sportsground users at Canterbury Park, Croydon Park, Jensen Park and Punchbowl Park by creating precinct plans for each of these sites.

These plans consider the current and future needs of sports clubs within the context of increases in population and sportsground usage, Council’s financial capacity, external funding sources, priorities and sustainability of the facilities.

The precinct plans also include assessment of access to all amenities buildings and clubhouses including the proposed layout of pedestrian, cycle and vehicle entrances, internal roads and carparking.

You can view the plans and have your say on those relevant to you below until 31 March 2025.
