Further details about the Armstrong Creek Sports Centre multi-sport facility have been revealed.
The centre will include four indoor multi-sport courts, a cafe and gathering space, changing facilities, and a sensory room.
Opening out onto a civic plaza, the centre will feature outdoor activation areas and open space, with basketball and netball hoops, areas for skating and parkour, informal and nature play spaces and table tennis tables.
The Geelong community had the opportunity to learn more about plans for the sports centre during recent information sessions where new renders and planning details were presented.
Development Victoria’s acting group head civic infrastructure Benjamin Delaney said that the new sports centre will be an exciting addition to the growing suburb of Armstrong Creek and the broader Geelong community.
“We are really looking forward to delivering this new facility in Armstrong Creek, which will provide a fantastic new space for community sport, while also creating employment opportunities for the Greater Geelong region during delivery,” he said.
Green credentials are a feature of the new design, with the centre registered to receive a Five Star Green Star certification.
The centre will also provide car parking with electric vehicle charging spaces.
Designs for the new sports centre have been prepared by Warren and Mahoney Architects and have involved an ongoing co-design process with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation.
The sports centre is one of three projects in the Geelong region, and one of the eight projects being delivered across the state by Development Victoria as part of the Victorian government’s Regional Sports Infrastructure Program.
The project is being delivered in partnership with Sport and Recreation Victoria and has involved close collaboration with the City of Greater Geelong to ensure the sports centre caters to the local community and delivers positive outcomes for the region.
