Wagga Wagga's netball community can anticipate several exciting upgrades by the end of 2024.

New details have been revealed this week regarding the two mixed-use courts scheduled for construction as part of Stage 1 of the Bolton Park Sports Hub.

Project Manager Matt Griffin shared that the revitalised space will be developed alongside the Jim Elphick Tennis Centre Upgrade. The new hard acrylic, non-cushioned surfaces, like the new tennis courts, will prioritise durability and player safety.

"These new spaces are designed according to specifications from Netball Australia and Tennis Australia," said Mr Griffin.

"Players of both sports can expect safer gameplay on competition-standard surfaces designed to minimise cuts and scrapes from falls."

The upgrades also include new changerooms designed for increased security and accessibility, and new court lighting will provide a consistently well-lit space for players and spectators.

A new kiosk will enhance the gameday experience for all sports communities using the Jim Elphick Tennis Centre.

Director Regional Activation John Sidgwick looks forward to the benefits the facilities will bring, attracting new players, events, and tourism, and contributing to broader community health and wellbeing goals.

"The redevelopment of the Jim Elphick Tennis Centre and Bolton Park Sports Hub marks a significant investment in Wagga Wagga's future," said Mr. Sidgwick.

"We are excited to deliver this revitalised sporting facility, confident it will benefit our local clubs, promote growth, and contribute to the long-term health and vitality of our community through various sports."

The redevelopment of the Jim Elphick Tennis Centre, including the new mixed-use courts, is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
