Drysdale Netball Courts Need Work

The Peninsula Netball Association does a fabulous job running a Saturday morning netball competition for the area's young netball players plus training through the week.

Every Saturday morning at 9am the netballers, ranging in age from 5 years upwards arrive to play and learn valuable netball skills.

But there is a problem - the netball courts need work.

  • Slippery surfaces: When the courts get wet they are quite slippery and dangerous.
  • There are missing netball ring nets
  • Netball ring posts are rusting away and breaking at their base which is inserted into a rain filled socket in the court surface
  • At least two posts have either been broken by vandals or just snapped (due to rust)

I understand the Committee from the Peninsula Netball Association has approached the City of Greater Geelong, who manage the sports precinct in Drysdale, and they were working towards a solution . However, the person they were dealing with at the Council has now left that position.

This means they now have to start negotiations with a new person, thus slowing progress towards a resolution.

The situation could become dangerous soon. Is there anyone out there with a solution?

Please let me know....
