Hoblers Bridge Netball Court Remediation
STATUS: In Progress
About the Project
The City of Launceston is undertaking upgrades to courts 6 and 7 at the Tasmanian Netball Centre, located at 35 Hoblers Bridge Road, Newstead.
The Tasmanian Netball Centre, built in 1987, is a City of Launceston owned facility and home to the Northern Tasmanian Netball Association (NTNA), which supports netball across northern Tasmania.
During the October 2022 flood event, all courts were inundated, resulting in cracking and settlement of the court surfaces. In response, Council developed a staged renewal program to restore and improve the facility.
This project will deliver upgrades to courts 6 and 7, including:
- New playing surfaces
- New lighting footings
- Stormwater drainage improvements
The upgrades will be completed in accordance with Netball Australia standards and will help improve the long-term functionality and resilience of the facility.
Project Timing
Works will be undertaken by GLB Constructions.
Site establishment is expected to begin from Monday 14 September 2026 and will include the installation of temporary fencing and a site compound. From this time, nearby users may notice increased contractor activity around the courts.
Construction is expected to continue until approximately the end of January 2027.
What to Expect During Construction
- Temporary fencing will be installed around the work area.
- Access to courts 6 and 7 will be unavailable while works are underway.
- Contractor vehicles, equipment and construction activity will be present on site.
- Every effort will be made to minimise disruption to Centre users and surrounding properties.
