Regional Sports Infrastructure Program – Bendigo
Bendigo is poised for a major transformation in its sporting and events facilities, delivered through the Victorian Government's Regional Sports Infrastructure Program.
Key venues across Bendigo will be upgraded to provide modern, accessible facilities that cater to athletes, local clubs, and the wider community.
Projects include:
- Bendigo Bowls Club and Croquet Club
- Bendigo Stadium
- Bendigo Showgrounds.
This investment will play a key role in creating local jobs, attracting visitors, and meeting the community’s growing needs.
Bendigo Bowls Club and Croquet Club
The Bendigo Bowls Club and Bendigo Croquet Club will benefit from 4 refurbished bowls greens and 2 refurbished croquet greens, alongside upgrades to the venue’s iconic clubhouse, and accessibility and circulation improvements.
Our delivery partner for this project is the City of Greater Bendigo.
Bendigo Stadium
The Bendigo Stadium expansion includes a new 2 court annex and upgrades to 2 existing courts. As the home of the WNBL Bendigo Spirit and NBL1 Bendigo Braves, this landmark investment will attract even more epic indoor sporting events to Bendigo – boosting local jobs, businesses, and the region’s economy.
The project will also upgrade lighting at the outdoor netball courts, while utility upgrades, solar panels, a backup generator and improvements to accessibility and car parking will ensure local clubs have the facilities they need to play year-round.
Bendigo Showgrounds
A new multipurpose pavilion at Bendigo Showgrounds will draw visitors from far and wide to Bendigo.
A redevelopment of the arena – plus upgrades to all 4 entrances and perimeter fencing – will see the Showgrounds remain a prime venue for sporting, cultural and agricultural events for years to come.
