What we’re doing
We’re working to build new and upgraded active sports fields across our local area to meet the growing needs of our communities. We aim to increase the capacity of our sports field by 16,000 playing hours by 2030.
This involves constructing some synthetic fields that provide greater playing hours than traditional turf fields.
The proposal for Perry Park includes:
- a new FIFA sized synthetic sports field
- a new amenities pavilion
- a new share way and parking
- new park lighting and seating
- welcoming park entries and better access in and around the park
- new native plants and trees.
Before we can build this new field, we need to remove 60 trees. We will replace the canopy loss with 30 to 40 large canopy shade trees as part of this upgrade.
