New multi-use sporting complex opens in Kellyville

Balmoral Road Reserve - a multi-million-dollar sporting complex in Kellyville was officially opened yesterday - and features tennis and multi-use ball courts, as well as multi-purpose fields, which can be used for AFL, football and cricket.

The Reserve caters for a number of sports and has three impressive buildings located onsite, which service different fields and the tennis courts. The central building - located near the tennis courts - includes a club room, storeroom, referees room and public toilets.

A 245-space car park has been included as part of the overall build, as well as a kiosk. Shared pedestrian/cycling paths with lighting feature in and around the Reserve and link to the bigger Greenway cycle link, between Bella Vista Farm and Rouse Hill Town Centre.  

Mayor of The Hills Shire, Dr Peter Gangemi said the complex will provide fantastic opportunities for sporting participation and outdoor recreation.

Mayor Gangemi noted “Balmoral Road Reserve has been hotly anticipated by the Hills community and we are very excited to deliver it for them.    

“It will provide a place where our residents and sporting clubs can play and train, and families and friends can socialise and exercise. More importantly, it's a place where our residents and visitors will find enjoyment and have a whole lot of fun.  

“This is a fantastic outcome that has been achieved thanks to both State and Local Governments working together to deliver essential facilities that will benefit our community and grass roots sports.”

Balmoral Road Reserve was opened by the NSW Minister for Planning and Minister for Homes, Anthony Roberts and Mayor Gangemi who were joined by residents and representatives from sporting teams - including Hawkesbury Cricket Club, Hills Football Association, Kellyville Supersonics Cricket Club, Kellyville/Rouse Hill Junior Football Club and Baulkham Hills Hawks Junior AFL Club - who have been allocated grounds to train and play on during the upcoming summer and winter seasons.
