WARRACKNABEAL STADIUM HIRE UPDATE -FRIDAY 24 NOVEMBER

The Warracknabeal Stadium facility is used for several sports and most notably, the exceptional indoor dual basketball courts, that were refurbished in 2021. The courts have undergone significant investment to replace the original timber court surface, however the retractable basketball ring system requires updating. In recent years, failures have been occurring on the eastern court basketball ring retraction system. These failures have presented several Occupational Health and Safety risks, along with strategic and operational risk challenges.

At the Council Meeting held on 22 November, Council approved the total replacement of the existing basketball rings and associated retraction infrastructure for the eastern court in the Warracknabeal Leisure Centre in the 2023-24 financial year for the cost of $55,000 excluding GST; It was also approved that budget for the replacement of the western court existing basketball rings and associated retraction infrastructure to be included in the 2024-25 financial year considerations. Stay tuned for more updates on installation!
