City of Rockingham takes on management of Mike Barnett Sports Complex

The City of Rockingham is to this week take over management of the Mike Barnett Sports Complex from the YMCA Perth.

The change of management follows significant court upgrades having been undertaken over the Christmas period, with all backboards in the complex are scheduled for replacement later in the year.

Rockingham Mayor Barry Sammels said the upgrades will result in a far better environment for the thousands of patrons who enjoy the facility on a weekly basis.

Commenting on the role of new facility co-ordinator John Langley, Mayor Sammels stated “John has over 15 years’ experience in the sport and recreation industry including almost seven years in facility management roles.

“He has most recently been employed at the City of Rockingham as the Community Development Officer (Sport and Recreation) providing club development support to the more than 110 sport and recreation clubs located within the City of Rockingham.”

The complex reopens as of today (Monday 8th January).
