Check out the fly-through footage above which unveils dwp’s design for the redevelopment of the State Netball and Hockey Centre (SNHC), a soon-to-be major sporting home in Parkville, Australia. The $64.6 million State Netball and Hockey Centre (SNHC) redevelopment is the centrepiece of the Victorian Government’s record investment in women’s sport.

The new facilities will be developed within the existing boundary of the centre and transform the building into an elite high performance facility and cement Parkville as the home for netball and hockey in Australia. The upgrade will include:

– 6 new indoor netball courts

– A new indoor hockey facility

– A high-performance strength and conditioning gym

– The Women in Sport Leadership Centre

– Sports House 2

– Upgrades to amenity and infrastructure including: the development of a new front entrance, providing for improved circulation and improving access to local public transport.

When complete the centre will cater for international elite athletes and competition as well as being a hub for athlete development, major sport programs, sector education programs, and sports administration.

Construction began in March 2019 by Kane Constructions Pty Ltd and completion is expected by 2021.
