Regional Sports Infrastructure Program – Ballarat
Ballarat’s sports infrastructure is set to be transformed as part of the Victorian Government’s Regional Sports Infrastructure Program.
These upgrades are designed to strengthen Ballarat’s reputation as a regional hub for major events while helping more residents and community clubs to enjoy the sports they love, close to home.
Projects include:
- Ballarat Major Events Precinct upgrades
- Ballarat Sports Events Centre
- Miners Rest community sports facility.
These investments will boost tourism and local jobs while also ensuring Ballarat has strong community sporting facilities into the future.
Ballarat Major Events Precinct
The Ballarat Major Events Precinct includes 5,000 new permanent seats at Mars Stadium, a new athletics track as part of the Ballarat Regional Athletics Centre and improved accessibility across the precinct.
At the brand-new athletics track, the community will enjoy a new spectator pavilion and seating, lighting, storage facilities and a public open space.
Ballarat Sports Events Centre
The Ballarat Sports Events Centre will receive upgrades to the show court including broadcast and lighting updates, along with improved accessibility and heating-cooling so local teams have the facilities they need to succeed on and off the court .
Miners Rest Community Sport Facility
A new community sports facility will be built at Miners Rest, with a competition-grade oval, sports pavilion with car parking, amenities and change rooms.
We look forward to sharing more information about this project in the coming months.
