Prospect Gardens / Narnu Wirra Court Upgrade

The existing courts require renewal, and Council is planning future use of the facility. The project seeks to improve the condition, functionality and long-term sustainability of the courts while ensuring they continue to meet community needs. The concept options investigate different combinations of sporting uses including tennis, pickleball, basketball, netball and futsal.

Council is seeking feedback on how the courts and surrounding space could be used in the future. Community feedback will help inform the concept before any detailed design or future funding decisions are made.

No. Council has considered several concept options and is now undertaking community consultation to understand local priorities before progressing the preferred concept.

Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It can be played as singles or doubles on a court about the same size as a badminton court.

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing participation sports and Council is exploring whether it could complement existing recreation opportunities within the City of Prospect. Community feedback will help determine the level of support for its inclusion.

Futsal is a fast-paced version of soccer that is played on a smaller court with five players per team.

Council has been investigating opportunities to introduce a broader range of recreation activities. One concept option includes a futsal court to provide greater flexibility and attract a wider range of users.

All concept options include tennis as part of the future use of the site, although the number and arrangement of courts may vary between options.

These elements are being investigated as part of the concept planning process.

No. All proposed works are confined to the existing court surface. No trees will be removed, and there are no changes to the adjacent playground, Pétanque clubrooms, soccer pitch, or carpark.

Construction is not currently funded. Council is presently undertaking concept planning and consultation. Any future detailed design and construction would be subject to Council approval and future budget considerations.

Cost estimates are currently being investigated as part of the concept design process. The final cost will depend on the preferred option selected, and the scope ultimately approved by Council.

All feedback will be reviewed and reported to Council. It will help shape the preferred concept before any future detailed design work is undertaken.
