Paynesville - AJ Freeman Reserve - Netball/Tennis Changeroom Upgrade

Practical completion of this project was achieved on 30 September 2024.

About the Project:

East Gippsland Shire Council together with the AJ Freeman Reserve Committee of Management have secured funding through Sport and Recreation Victoria – Female Friendly Facilities Stream for the design and construction of a new Netball/Tennis Changeroom Facility.

The works will include construction of a female friendly netball/tennis pavilion including two player change rooms, two umpires change rooms, accessible changeroom, two public toilets, a first aid room, storage and administration space.

The proposed outcome of the AJ Freeman Reserve netball/tennis changeroom Upgrade is to:

Provide new change facilities that will allow for equitable facilities which will encourage people (particular emphasis on women and girls) to get outside, re-engage, and interact.
Provide community members within Paynesville high quality facilities to enable netball pathways from juniors to seniors, mentoring and leadership.
Increase participation opportunities made available through the development of new or upgraded existing multi-use, sport, and active recreation infrastructure.
Improve participation of those who participate less in community sport and recreation, particularly those from communities experiencing long-term socio-economic disadvantage, growth and regional areas and areas affected by natural disaster.
Increase equitable and inclusive participation of women and girls in local sport by investing in well-designed and high-quality facilities.
Improve sustainable design and planning to ensure infrastructure investment is building better and more liveable communities.
Increase local economic activity through the planning, building, management, and activation of redeveloped or new infrastructure.

Budget:

This project has been primarily funded through Sports and Recreation Victoria with contributions from East Gippsland Shire Council.
