Sports Build to upgrade netball courts in Dubbo with all-weather playing surfaces

Specialty sports construction business, Sports Build have been engaged by Dubbo Regional Council, via a competitive tender process, to convert two netball grass courts into all-weather playing surfaces. The Dubbo Netball Association were successful in receiving $228,100 through the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants Program that will fund the project.

Sports Build have actively engaged local subcontractors where possible to provide supplies and carry out work at different stages of the project.

Dubbo Regional Council Mayor Mathew Dickerson said this is a great project to get the year started and advised “The Dubbo Netball Association is an extremely strong group, it’s wonderful that the association can continue expanding and with the support of the State Government we can deliver this level of improvement to a well utilised facility.”

Dubbo Netball Association President Vanessa Uebergang said the association was excited to see the work commence and added “we would like to thank the State Government and Dubbo Regional Council for their commitment to and support of local netball. We attract a lot of players from around the whole region and expanding our playing surfaces will allow our association to grow in players and supporters for years to come.

“The all-weather courts will also allow games that would normally have to be cancelled during or after wet weather to go ahead. We anticipate this will have a positive impact on our larger events that may have had to be scaled back in the past in the event of bad weather.”

The courts are expected to be complete by the end of March 2022, ready for the start of the 2022 season.

Sports Build is a multi-disciplined, specialty Sports construction business with experience and expertise in Civil construction, Project Management, natural Sports Turf and Synthetic surfaces.
