Craigieburn Sports Stadium slam dunk
Published: 17 September 2024The Craigieburn community and local sporting clubs are set to benefit from the completion of an upgraded Craigieburn Sports Stadium.
The stadium upgrade includes 3 new multisport courts for netball, basketball and badminton, increasing the number of courts to 8.
It also includes new change facilities to cater for higher demand, meeting rooms, a remodelled entry and reception, new café area and 80 extra car parking spaces.
They provide a real home court advantage for the more than 1,600 people who play in the Craigieburn Eagles Basketball Association, Craigieburn Netball Association and Craigieburn Ladies Badminton Club.
The upgrades were made possible by a $5 million investment from the Community Sports Infrastructure Stimulus Program with Hume City Council providing a $12.3 million contribution to the project.
From playground redevelopments to new sporting precincts, investments like these provide high quality and accessible places for Victorians to reap the benefits of sport and active recreation. These projects are all about creating jobs, stimulating local economies, and improving the health, wellbeing, and social outcomes for Victorian communities.
