Latest update

The engagement feedback has been reviewed and we are in the process of investigating the additional works requested and attaining costs to determine whether the items suggested can be delivered within the project budget.


So far we can confirm the following additional items have been included in the scope of works:

  • Netball ring & post added to the half court basketball area
  • Additional picnic table and bench seats added under the existing picnic shelter (near the cricket ground carpark).

We will continue to review the plans as the information on the other requested items becomes available.

Background

We are excited to be delivering an upgrade to the sport and recreation facilities at Serpentine Reserve in O’Halloran Hill. With the support of Erin Thompson Member for Davenport, the state government is providing a special purpose grant of $300,000 towards this project.

In February and March 2023 we consulted the community on the project, including an on-site drop in session on 1 March.

The concept plan for the proposed project scope of works that we engaged on can be viewed here and included:

  • New half basketball court construction
  • Cricket net refurbishment
  • Solar lighting for rubble carpark (directly south of the cricket ground)
  • New picnic shelter, table and bench seats
  • Playground shadesail
  • New drinking fountain (under review).

As part of our engagement we also met with the Southern Serpents Cricket Club to discuss the plan. The club supported the draft concept plan and is working with us on the details of the cricket net refurbishment.

Construction

Construction of works will be staged to minimise disturbance to Serpentine Reserve users. This will include scheduling some works outside of the cricket season to minimise impacts to the Southern Serpents Cricket Club. The half basketball court is earmarked to be delivered in 2023.
