| Two brand new basketball courts ready for use! | |  The extension to the Broadmeadows Leisure Centre is now complete, and the two brand new courts are ready for public use. The four million dollar project, which started 11 months ago, includes two courts added onto the existing centre and a 66 car parking space underneath the courts.
With the community growing, it is great to see that our recreational spaces are growing with them. There is now more space for people to interact and stay fit and healthy.
Basketball is exceptionally popular across Hume and is continuing to attract more players. The existing courts currently experience in excess of 7000 weekly attendances from players, spectators and supporters for training and competition.
The new courts will cater for the growth in popularity and provide access and participation opportunities for local children and adults to participate in basketball. The new courts will also be utilised by the local schools, including the new Hume Central Secondary College, which is currently under construction.

|  The new building incorporates Environmentally Sustainable Design elements including the harvesting of roof water for toilet flushing.
Funding towards the Broadmeadows Basketball Stadium extension includes $500,000 from the State Government through Sport Recreation Victoria. It also includes $700,000 from Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD).
Residents interested in finding out more information about basketball competitions or activities within Hume should contact Council’s Leisure Services Officer on 9205 2200.
