The Northern Territory Government’s $6.2 million investment towards community sporting infrastructure in Alice Springs has been completed.
The tender was awarded to local company LTC Construction to build new change rooms, toilets and a canteen at Ross Park, the home of soccer in Central Australia, and is expected to create five jobs.
Soccer is one of the most popular sports in Alice Springs. These upgrades make the venue more family friendly, encouraging more Territorians to participate in the sport.
The first works as part of this funding were upgrades to the Traeger Avenue Hockey Pitch, completed in 2018.
The $6.2million sporting infrastructure package included:
- Resurface of the hockey pitch at Traeger Avenue
- Evaporative cooler and fans at the Alice Springs Basketball Centre
- Jim McConville oval change rooms and canteen facility
- Ross Park change rooms and canteen
- Flynn Drive oval facility rebuild, storage and canteen
- Rhonda Diano oval upgrades to track and field amenities
- Albrecht oval additional change room and storage.
