Thriving Suburbs application submitted for Keirnan Park Stage 1B BMX project

In September 2024, Council received the project scope, project timeline delivery options and funding options for Keirnan Park – Stage 1B.

The Shire has submitted a funding application to the Federal Government’s Thriving Suburbs Program for the Keirnan Park BMX project. Securing external funding for the project will assist the Shire to deliver this important community project sooner than the Shire’s current funding program allows for this project.

The Shire will also be working the Byford BMX Club, to identify a staged delivery plan for the project, aligned to the elements in the Community Infrastructure Development Contribution Plan (DCP), to allow the delivery of Phase 1 for the relocation of the Byford BMX Club from Briggs Park to Keirnan Park.

Concept Designs endorsed for Keirnan Park Stage 1C Netball project

The Shire has completed the Keirnan Park Netball Needs Assessment and Concept Design, which has confirmed that the Shire’s current netball court and facility provision is not suitable or sufficient for current and future demand.

Keirnan Park, being the single largest land available within the Shire for sporting use, provides the necessary area and capability to facilitate the development of the Netball Association, which would see them vacating the current courts in Mundijong.

Council endorsed the Keirnan Park Netball Needs Assessment and Concept Design in October 2024 and the Shire will continue to advocate in the lead up to the 2025 State and Federal Government elections to secure funding for the delivery of Keirnan Park Netball project (Stage 1C), being 15 courts and pavilion as a single stage project estimated at $40.4 million.
