Davis Park Redevelopment - Plans on Display

Published on 22 February 2021

At its meeting on Wednesday 3 February 2021, Hindmarsh Shire Council endorsed an application for funding for the redevelopment of Davis Park, Nhill to be submitted to the Victorian Government’s Community Sports Infrastructure Stimulus Program – Round 2.

Council was unsuccessful in its submission through the same funding program in round 1 but was invited by the Victorian Government to re-submit its application in round 2.

Hindmarsh Shire Council Mayor, Cr Ron Ismay said “This is a fantastic opportunity for Council to re-submit its previous application as round 2 is only open to invited applicants”.

“There is a very quick turnaround from being invited to re-submit and to when applications close. Successful applicants from round 2 need to commence on ground works before the end of 2021” Cr Ismay said.

Hindmarsh Shire Council in conjunction with the Nhill and District Sporting Club will be conducting a drop in information session on Thursday night 25 February at the Davis Park clubrooms from 7.00pm until 8.30pm.

Cr Ismay added “I encourage any residents from Nhill and district who are interested in viewing the proposed plans for the redevelopment of Davis Park to drop in at any time between 7.00pm and 8.30pm where Council staff and representatives from Nhill and District Sporting will be able to answer questions”.

The proposed redevelopment of Davis Park will include new male and female change rooms, new community clubrooms with tiered undercover spectator seating, new public toilets, community gymnasium and a new netball court.

Cr Ismay concluded, “I encourage anyone interested in gaining an understanding of this very exciting project for Nhill to call into the drop in session”.
