Strathfieldsaye Community Hub Precinct Plan finalised

2 October 2024

The Strathfieldsaye Community Hub Precinct Plan is now finalised, following extensive community consultation. The Plan is the long-term vision for the Strathfieldsaye Recreation Reserve (Club Court). It aims to provide more inclusive and flexible spaces for the whole community.

Main changes since the previous draft:

  • Forecourt area next to new bowls clubrooms improved for access and view lines
  • Proposed lower oval storage to use existing scorer’s/timekeepers structure and reduce flooding risk
  • Upper oval line marking shown and circuit path widened to meet requirements for cricket and soccer
  • Fitness station moved further away from upper oval and barrier fence proposed behind multicourt
  • Proposed access and parking audit undertaken in the next 12 months. We will investigate existing access and parking requirements and make recommendations

Next steps

The next steps for implementation have started. There is funding in the 2024/25 financial year to complete design work for:

  • external storage structures
  • a new shared community club building alongside the upper oval

All other elements of the Precinct Plan are not yet funded. They require staged delivery over multiple years, which are subject to budget. Please follow the project for updates.
