Community Basketball Shelter

The undercover basketball shelter would be accessible to the school for various programs as well as the wider community groups all year round. Utilised by the school community for assemblies, sporting programs, larger scale outdoors events and a before/after school care program, it would also be a hub for community events, a meeting place for locals and training site for Shepparton East Fire Brigade. Local sporting teams train using the school's basketball court facilities, and this will allow practice to continue regardless of weather. With a war memorial adjacent to the court, community services for ANZAC/Remembrance day will also benefit.

Currently there aren't any undercover facilities within the Shepparton East Community for the primary school, sporting groups, fire-brigade or community to use. The town's population is rapidly growing and the school has doubled enrolments to 300 students over the last 6 years. With no shelter for larger events such as assemblies or community services, these are often cancelled due to weather.
The shelter will address community need as the school is easily accessible for the wider community to utilise this area for their football, netball and basketball training, or meetings as required on a year round basis, regardless of weather.
