Jamison Park netball courts renewed and ready to bounce into action

The Albanese Government continues to partner with Penrith City Council to build high-priority local community infrastructure – with the upgrades to the netball courts now officially complete at Jamison Park in South Penrith.

The $876,000 project resurfaced 23 courts

and delivered drainage improvements to the complex – supported by $650,000 from the Albanese Government under the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program (LRCI) and over $225,000 from Penrith City Council.

Finished just in time for the upcoming netball season, these upgrades will improve the playing conditions for competitors and create a greater experience for their supporters to spectate.

The resurfaced courts surfaces and the construction of a new asphalt swale will help to ensure rainwater is directed away from the courts.

This will assist games to resume sooner after wet weather, reducing disruptions to the netball season.

In addition to these works, Penrith City Council is also in the final stages of installing new netball hoops, with the remaining ones set to be in place before the start of the netball season.
