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.

    Consultation with Key Stakeholders

    Senior Council staff met with representatives of sporting clubs and peak sporting bodies to discuss the Draft Master Plan and to get their feedback.

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.
