Greater Shepparton City Council contractors have completed the new synthetic hockey field as part of the redevelopment of the Greater Shepparton Regional Sports Precinct.
The new synthetic hockey field will provide teams and players a great surface for matches and will serve as a flexible all weather surface. Existing buildings have been retained and will be integrated via path connections and landscaping associated car parks, as well as the adjacent soccer, tennis and multi-use field as part of the larger Greater Shepparton Regional Sports Precinct development.
The hockey field component of the Greater Shepparton Regional Sports Precinct has been funded by the Australian Government through the Community Development Grants Programme $265k, Greater Shepparton City Council $327k and Goulburn Valley Hockey Association $75k.
“It’s great to see the first component of the Greater Shepparton Regional Sports Precinct taking shape, the new hockey field also includes a warm up area and I am sure by having the new field it will help attract larger sporting groups and competitions to Greater Shepparton,” said Greater Shepparton City Council’s Mayor, Dennis Patterson.
“I would like thank the hockey clubs for their patience while the new surface was being laid, I am sure the wait has been worthwhile,” said Cr Patterson.
The next stages for the Shepparton Sports Precinct will include redevelopment of the Community Football Complex.
Greater Shepparton Regional Sports Precinct total redevelopment will include:
