A new multi-sport community court in the heart of central Dandenong was officially opened today, providing a much-needed recreational facility for the local community.<\/p>\n
Minister for Youth and Member for Dandenong, Gabrielle Williams, and City of Greater Dandenong Mayor, Cr Roz Blades, marked the official opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony.<\/p>\n
The multi-sport court, delivered as part of the Victorian government\u2019s Revitalising Central Dandenong initiative, will be open to the public for use year-round and will be an important space for the local community to be active.<\/p>\n
The Victorian Government contributed over half a million dollars to design and deliver the court, with the City of Greater Dandenong contributing approximately $100,000.<\/p>\n
The multi-sport court, located on the corner of Cadle and George streets can play host to a range of sports including basketball, netball and futsal. Key features include lighting and CCTV, ensuring the facility is safe and secure.<\/p>\n
The multi-sport court was built following a successful trial of a \u2018pop-up\u2019 park, at a site to the south along Foster Street, Dandenong.<\/p>\n
Revitalising Central Dandenong represents a $290 million Victorian Government commitment to transform central Dandenong into a vibrant and thriving economic and service hub.<\/p>\n
Since 2006, the project has attracted close to $700 million in private investment to Dandenong, enhancing the city\u2019s appeal as a great place to live, work and visit.<\/p>\n
Development Victoria, the Victorian Government\u2019s property development authority, delivered the new court in collaboration with the City of Greater Dandenong. Ace Landscape Services were responsible for construction.<\/p>\n
