Residents have been invited to learn more about the proposed Baldivis district sporting complex.
The upcoming project from the City pf Rockingham will be presented and explained in full to the public during a community presentation on October 16.
To be located on Eighty Road, opposite Kendall Boulevard, the complex will provide about eight hectares of open space, two pavilions, an indoor recreation centre, 18 outdoor hardcourts, a nature playground and a youth space.
Residents are encouraged to gather at the Mary Davies Library and Community Centre from 6.30pm on October 16 to hear the one hour information session where the project's master plan will be discussed.
City of Rockingham Mayor Barry Sammels said the development of the complex would deliver a range of sporting and social benefits to clubs across the City.
“The Baldivis District Sporting Complex will be a fantastic addition to the community and we encourage residents to attend the community presentation to see what this exciting project is all about,” he said.
“Once complete the Baldivis District Sporting Complex will play a key role in the long term health and wellbeing of the community and will also provide important recreation and social opportunities for many years to come.”
In addition to the community presentation, the master plan will also be available for public comment from October 10 to 31.
The master plan will be available on the City’s Share Your Thoughts webpage.
Mayor Sammels said the draft master plan had been developed to maximise the opportunity to preserve the strong environmental values at the site.
“Under the draft master plan, 62% of all native vegetation and 65% of trees with hollows will be protected,” he said.
“A large portion of black cockatoo foraging habitat will be retained and the City will also plant about 90 native trees at the complex.
“The City will also implement a Fauna Relocation Management Plan prior to work starting on site.”
RSVPs to the presentation are essential and can be made by phoning the City on 9528 0333.
