Another perspective of the new Netball Courts!

We are advocating to the Golden Plains Shire Council to get signage placed at the facility to redirect Ballarat-Skipton Rail Trail users around the far side of the oval per the new Master Plan document that they adopted last year.

You will see a few other things happening to get the courts and surrounding areas finished up in the coming months.

If you have any questions you can reach out to council through their channels, or to the Recreation Facility Secretary at [email protected]

How good does this look! 🙌

A bird’s-eye view of the brand new Woady Yaloak Netball & Tennis Courts — and what an incredible upgrade for the community!

Officially opened on 20 May, the $900,000 project delivers two upgraded multi-use courts, new fencing, undercover shelters, and improved storage which has created a better space for players, volunteers and supporters alike.

Funded by the Victorian Government and Golden Plains Shire Council, this is a fantastic investment in local sport and community connection. 🏀🎾

We look forward to working with the new Committee.

Welcome to the newly minted Woady Yaloak Netball Club.

20/05/2026

Last night saw the official opening of the Woady Yaloak Recreation Reserve's brand new netball/tennis court rebuild and lighting upgrade.

It is a somewhat bittersweet moment, considering the outcome of the BFNL vote that saw the Warriors unable to field football and netball in 2026.

That said, the Committee of Management are pleased to see the continuation of junior netball training at the reserve thanks to the new Sunday matches delivered by Netball Victoria.

It was lovely to see nearly 100 young people training at the reserve on Tuesday night, while Talbot FC trained under the lights on the oval, and Golden Plains Pickleball played matches in the Stadium.

The future of the reserve is bright, and we are grateful to all of the people who made these upgrades happen.

We will continue to explore opportunities for the new works to be further utilised by the community, and welcome any enquiries or suggestions for future usage.

♻️ COMMUNITY E-WASTE DROP-OFF EVENTS ♻️

Did you know that e-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in Victoria? Items like old computers, TVs, cords, batteries and small electronics should never go in your kerbside bin; not only is it illegal in Victoria, but it can also create serious environmental and fire risks.

To help residents safely dispose of unwanted electronics, Golden Plains Shire Council is running two FREE community e-waste drop-off events.

📍 Meredith
🗓 Saturday 30 May 2026
🕘 9:00am – 1:00pm
📌 Russell Street, Meredith

📍 Bannockburn
🗓 Saturday 6 June 2026
🕘 9:00am – 1:00pm
📌 Family Services Centre Car Park, Bannockburn

Residents from right across the Shire are welcome to attend either event.

Let’s work together to keep harmful waste out of landfill and dispose of electronics safely and responsibly. ♻️
