70 new car park spaces.
Council has worked closely with local sporting clubs to develop the concept plan, which was endorsed for detailed design by Council on 10 June 2020.
With participation rates double the Victorian rate at 8.15 per cent, basketball is Baw Baw Shire’s most popular sport with 3951 Basketball Victoria registered participants and 1844 members registered with the Warragul and District Amateur Basketball Association.
The project is estimated to create up to 54 jobs for the region with construction expected to take between 19 and 24 months.
When complete, the project will further enhance the levels of participation in stadium sports in the Shire, allow local clubs to expand and provide a regional level facility that can cater for more tournaments and events.

Baw Baw Shire Council makes switch to LED street lighting
New LED streetlights in towns throughout Baw Baw Shire will reduce Council’s power bills for years to come and save approximately 365 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per annum.
Council secured $575,027 in funding for the project through the Australian Government’s $500 million Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, which supports Councils and communities to bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic.
This project is the second stage of LED lighting upgrades in Baw Baw Shire and has replaced 1,100 existing high-pressure sodium vapour, compact fluorescent, Twin T5 and high wattage mercury vapour lights on Council owned streets and roads.
