ball Club from the Heybridge Recrea-

tion Ground to this site.

The detailed design for the entire pro-

ject will be completed in early 2016

with the construction of the ovals and

the access roads slated to commence

in mid-2016. The remaining facilities,

such as the shared pavilion, car park,

irrigation, lighting, playground, public

space and drainage works will follow

by the end of 2017.

It is estimated that the project cost

will be $10.5 million. Funds will be

made available from Council’s budget,

the sale of surplus land, loans and ex-

ternal grants. The surplus land to be

sold has been identified east of the

Dial Sports Complex and will be pre-

pared for sale to help fund the im-

provements.

When the project is complete it will

include a sports oval with fencing and

lighting, and a scoreboard suitable for

AFL and cricket. There will also be a

second oval suitable for AFL, cricket

and other sports such as soccer and

rugby. The ancillary facilities will include

a new access road and car parking.

The Sports Centre will also be pro-

vided with a shared pavilion facility,

which will include function rooms,

change rooms, an undercover view-

ing area, meeting spaces, kitchen,

office space, kiosk and toilets acces-

sible to the public.

Referring to the Dial Regional Sports

Centre Project, Mayor Jan Bonde had

said, “Work has commenced in ear-

nest on the Dial Regional Sports

Complex Master Plan. The Council ac-

cepted the tender from ARTAS Archi-

tects for the preliminary and detailed

design for the development which will

be staged over the next three years.

“This exciting project will see two

AFL-size ovals suitable for football

and cricket along with clubroom and

associated ancillary facilities devel-

oped on the site. Extensive consul-

tation with the community will take

place over the coming months to en-

sure this development will meet the

needs of all the stakeholders into the

future.”
