A report regarding Bayside’s netball centre proposal is included in the Ordinary Meeting of Council Agenda on 16 February 2021. The report provides an update on the project including an overview of the findings from the community engagement process and a broader update for the proposed development of sports facilities (Netball and sportsground) at Sandringham College – Holloway Road.

Following community consultation, Council has made some revisions to the traffic management plan prepared for the area and updated the site context plan.

The report will detail what actions will be taken in the revised design of the future community sporting facilities to mitigate the impact of peak car parking demand, noise pollution and light spill on nearby residents.

The report also details the revised hours of netball usage that strike the balance between netball and local residential amenity and details the next steps proposed for the new six-hectare open space at the previous driving range site on Wangara Road.

1. endorses the Design for community sporting facilities at Sandringham Secondary College;
