Swifts Creek - Recreation Reserve Upgrade

About the Project

The Swifts Creek township is the service, commercial and social hub for residents living north of Ensay and south of Omeo. Swifts Creek is also the medical, education, shopping, and rural supply hub for many communities that surround the Swifts Creek area.

Like many rural communities, sport and recreation plays a critical role in bringing our community together and helps maintain their physical and mental health wellness. The Swifts Creek Recreation Reserve Committee of Management knows that the recreation reserve is a critical asset for Swifts Creek and surrounding communities in keeping people of all ages and abilities socially and physically connected.

We also recognise that an active and well-connected community is more able to work together particularly during times of natural disasters such as bushfire events. Our community knows that the recreation reserve is a critical staging space and facility in such events.

Swifts Creek needs fit for purpose community facilities at a recreation reserve that is adaptable and can offer a wide range of positive social and recreational opportunities. Our current facilities are struggling to meet community requirements, visitor expectations and are not helping us build on our resilience and capacity into the future.

The Swifts Creek Recreation Reserve Upgrade project aims to provide fit for purpose sporting and recreation facilities. It will incorporate two key project stages:

• One component is the replacement of three existing buildings (changerooms, umpire rooms, toilets, tennis clubroom, social rooms) with one multipurpose, accessible and fully compliant facility.
• The second component is the replacement of the existing netball and tennis court facility with a new competition compliant facility.
