The project is for the installation of water proof shelter (shade sail/s), sheltered seating, community storage space, line-marking of an additional basketball/netball court and landscaping around the outdoor sports courts within the Elwood College grounds. The courts were installed as part of the school redevelopment however, the amenity around them remains unfinished. It is understood that any additional works will be limited because the school has very limited funds. The courts are an important community facility that are used extensively after hours. Local netball and basketball groups that use the facility after hours need access to storage and shelter.
Landscaping, storage and shelter at the courts will give local groups such as the Caulfield South Netball Club (over 140 CSNC girls live in the Elwood College area), Elwood Basketball Club and Elwood College Basketball Academy with an Elwood Home base for their training activities. The courts are also used extensively by local young people/community as a place to meet, chat and throw the ball around.
There are only 4 outdoor sports courts - important training venues for local netball, basketball in the Elwood area – one each at Elwood and St. Columba Primary Schools and two at Elwood College.

As a mum of four children they ALL use these courts outside of Elwood college. Two of my sons train here with their domestic and rep basketball teams and my daughter trains here for Netset Go. My eldest son shoots hoops on these courts six nights a week. Please support these facilities that really need more improvements for both students and non students to enjoy the space

Desperately need more courts for the many competing interests. Given the emphasis on kids being involved in sport & yet there is already not enough access for the existing teams to train, this must be a priority.
