As part of the Craigieburn Sports Stadium Masterplan, we are conducting important works to increase participation, promote health, wellbeing and social connection.

What we did

Stage 1 construction (completed late 2024)

Hume City Council has upgraded Craigieburn Sports Stadium for the local community. Stage one of construction included:

  • a new carpark along the side of the stadium near Craigieburn Road
  • three additional multipurpose sports courts
  • new meeting rooms and changeroom facilities
  • remodelling of the entry to include a reception and new café area
  • upgraded internal areas within the facility.

Stage 1 landscaping (completed mid-2025)

We've enhanced the landscaping with a new design to improve the surrounding space.

Why we did it

Hume City Council is committed to providing facilities that enhance opportunities for the community to participate in sport and active recreation and that also provide opportunities for social connection and community engagement.

The courts at Craigieburn Sports Stadium were previously at capacity during peak times, limiting participation opportunities and growth for clubs.

The additional three courts and associated infrastructure will help increase participation and meet the current and future demands for courts in the Craigieburn and surrounding areas.

Partnerships

The Craigieburn Sports Stadium Upgrade (Stage 1) was delivered by Hume City Council in partnership with the Victorian Government.

What's next?

Master Plan and Feasibility Study

We're currently working to establish the future of the Craigieburn Sports Stadium (Stage 2) and the Craigieburn Gardens by developing an overarching master plan and feasibility study to guide future improvements in the area.

The master plan will outline a long-term vision, focusing on visitor experience, community recreation, cultural heritage and the natural environment. It will also consider future needs for indoor sport and leisure, as identified in Council’s Active Living Plan (Volume Two: Indoor Sports and Leisure Plan).

In addition, it will draw on the actions and opportunities outlined in theHume Open Space Strategy 2025 and the Aitken Creek Parklands Plan, which identify opportunities to enhance Craigieburn Gardens, particularly its waterways and spaces for social recreation.

We’ll be working closely with a wide range of stakeholders including local residents, user groups, schools, sporting clubs, industry representatives and the State Government.

We'll continue to keep the community informed as planning progresses and will share opportunities to have your say as they become available. 

Construction works at the entry into Craigieburn Sports Stadium

Later this year, we’ll be upgrading the entry to Craigieburn Sports Stadium to make it safer, easier, and more welcoming for everyone. The project will open the accessway from Craigieburn Road, add a new footpath right to the stadium, increase accessible parking, create a dedicated drop-off zone, and improve road design.

While there will be some temporary changes to vehicle and pedestrian access during construction, we’ll work to keep disruptions to a minimum and will provide further updates as the project progresses.
