Broadview Oval Community and Sports Hub

Project Overview

A key component of the Broadview Oval/Yarnta Tutu yarta Master Plan is the new Broadview Oval Community and Sports Hub.

The new Broadview Oval Community and Sports Hub will be a contemporary and long lasting community asset, designed to maximise accessibility and use by all members of our community and beyond. It will connect to the surrounding public open space and amenity, creating an active and integrated community destination, promoting better health and wellbeing for all who visit.

The new facility will be located on the centre wing postion of Broadview Oval and will replace the existing Broadview Football Clubrooms.

Key features include:

  • Change rooms (male and female)
  • Clubrooms
  • Function and meeting rooms
  • Storage facilities
  • Spectator viewing areas

A State Government grant of $1.5m has been provided for the project with the balance of funding from Council.

A Community Reference Group has been established for the project. The Community Reference Group serves as an important link from the community to provide information and advice, reflecting the concerns and issues of stakeholders and the public. Examples of things that the group can influence include design considerations and naming. More information for the Community Reference Group can be found in the Document Library on the right of this page.

Broadview Community and Sports Hub – September / October Update

Welcome back to the latest update on the anticipated Broadview Community and Sports Hub. We are thrilled to share the remarkable progress in the size and scale of the new hub, which is now taking shape on the western boundary of the Broadview Oval | Yarnta Tutu Yarta. As we approach the final stages of the project, the natural tones and harmonious aesthetic of the building fabric are coming to life, making the completion of the new facility an exciting reality.

There has been great progress with the work over the last couple of months. The external façade consisting of brickwork, and metal cladding is substantially complete and settling into the park and oval surrounds. Internally the functional areas are well advanced with wall lings, tiling and ceilings complete. Painting is ongoing on level 1 and the joinery installation has also commenced.

The level 1 function spaces have been formed with an operable wall dividing the two spaces. These areas are flexible function and event spaces that can be either a large open plan suitable for large birthday or corporate functions or a smaller room suitable for community meetings, not-for-profit events, or an off-site corporate team event. These spaces will be available for hire soon. Check the flyer attached for more details.

The focus in October 2023 will be to complete the internal finishes, install the bar and kitchen facilities and complete floor finishes and painting. The external civil and landscaping works to the perimeter of the building will start from the 3 October, this will include reinstating the track, pavements, and landscaping.

The Stage 1 works which includes the main building is scheduled for completion on the 31 October 2023. Once completed Stage 2 will be triggered which includes demolition of the existing Football Club house and construction of the northern and southern carparks. Stage 2 is scheduled for completion in January 2024.

Broadview Sports and Recreation Precinct/ Yarnta Tutu yarta is located on the eastern side of our City in the suburb of Broadview, bounded by Collingrove Avenue, Myponga Terrace, Poltawa Terrace and McInnes Avenue.

As well as providing a range of recreational facilities, including BBQ facilities, picnic areas, fitness equipment, running track, play equipment and a dog park, the precinct is also home to a variety of sports clubs including Broadview Football Club, Prospect District Cricket Club, Prospect Broadview Bowling Club and the Broadview & Collingrove Tennis Clubs.

Council’s Open Space Strategy 2018, identifies Broadview Sports and Recreation Precinct/ Yarnta Tutu yarta as a Regional Park, catering not only for our local community but for the broader metropolitan community, beyond the immediate locality.

A number of years ago, Council deemed that many of the facilities on site were inadequate to serve the needs of our greater community.  Following this Council, in consultation with our community and key stakeholders, began the process of developing a draft Master Plan, an overarching strategic document to guide future improvements to this important sporting and recreational precinct.

In 2020 a Draft Master Plan was prepared by DesignInc, incorporating feedback from Council, key stakeholders and community members.  The Draft Master Plan was released for community consultation on two occasions and  at the 19 January 2021 Council Meeting,  Council endorsed the Broadview Oval/ Yarnta Tutu yarta Master Plan, with Centre Wing as the preferred location of the new Broadview Community and Sports Hub, noting that minor updates to the Master Plan may occur as part of future concept designs.
