Netball Centre - Court Resurfacing

Project value$648,043.20
Contractor nameHardings Group
Completion Date31 March 2025

With thanks to the Tasmanian government for providing $400,000 in grant funding for this project

The asphalt on courts 3-8 at the Netball Centre is being replaced due to large cracks in the playing surface and surrounding areas, which pose a safety risk for both players and spectators. Additionally, the courts do not meet Netball Australia's requirement for a consistent 1% cross-fall grade, which needs to be corrected.

The works will include:

Removal of the existing asphalt on courts 3 to 8.
Base regrading to remove high/low points and soft areas.
Drain replacement along the centre of the courts.
Replacement of grates on outer drains.
Installation of a new spoon drain.
New asphalt with acrylic seal.
