Update

Another project is about to commence as part of Council’s continuing commitment to delivery of the Aldinga Sports Park Master Plan.

We are excited to share designs developed in consultation with the Aldinga Football and Cricket Club to construct four unisex change facilities, including new public toilets to support use of the Aldinga Oval and sports complex.

With the support of Leon Bignell Member for Mawson, the state government is providing $825,000 towards the upgrade in addition to council’s matching funds.

The project will deliver an upgrade of the two existing Aldinga Football and Cricket Club change rooms and construction of an additional two new change rooms with umpire amenities adjacent to the clubroom building. The new change room building also incorporates modern disability access, female, and male public toilets to replace the existing aging public toilets.

Construction works are expected to commence towards the end of the current football season in approximately September 2023.

Previous Update

Progress on delivering the Stage 1 works of the Aldinga Sports Park Master Plan is well underway with the completion of netball court upgrades and new cricket nets. The main civil and service upgrades are now underway.

Over the next two months the project will look to finish the asphalting, landscaping and footpath components including placing the turf soccer pitch. The soccer and hockey clubrooms have commenced with the hockey building to be completed by June 2023 and the soccer building completed by December 2023.

The Masterplan proposed the relocation of the Aldinga Sports Park (ASP) equestrian facilities to enable the construction of a hockey and soccer building and a new soccer pitch adjacent the Aldinga Payinthi School. An alternative site for the relocation of the Aldinga equestrian facilities has been found at Bowering Hill Road, Aldinga, and construction of their new facilities will commence soon.

Construction of new hockey and soccer buildings has commenced.

Background

The Aldinga Sport Park (ASP), located adjacent to the Aldinga township, is a Regional Active Park currently home to nine clubs including bowling, croquet, netball, football, cricket, soccer, hockey and equestrian (relocating in 2023).

The ASP Master Plan sets a long-term vision for the Park with staged development to occur over the next 10+ years. A plan for stage 1 works and the following implementation stages are found in the Executive Summary Report. More detail is also available in the Final Master Plan Report.

The Master Plan was prepared to guide the future development of sports and recreation facilities in response to current and projected growth in population and sport participation levels in the Aldinga region.

The construction of the new Aldinga Payinthi College adjacent to the Sports Park presented an opportunity to combine sports and recreation facilities to create a large sports and community hub catering to the broader southern region.

The Master Plan was developed to ensure new sports park facilities are combined with the school facilities and consider the further growth of the region. Future stages of the ASP upgrades will be implemented as set out in the ASP Master Plan, following the completion of Stage 1 works in 2023.
