Walkerville Oval amenity development survey

The Town of Walkerville has developed concept plans for sports and infrastructure improvements within the Walkerville Oval precinct. 

The proposed changes seek to bring the existing sporting infrastructure at the oval up to modern design, compliance and safety standards, whilst also improving pedestrian connectivity and amenity through the precinct. 

 The proposed scope of works would include the following: 

  1. New Walkerville Oval lighting & electrical infrastructure;
  2. New multi-sport community court area with lighting (featuring line marking and match-compliant runoff for netball, basketball and tennis. Under plans, the current two tennis courts would be reduced to one tennis court to allow for line marking for a compliant netball court, as well as a basketball court);
  3. New cricket practice nets (featuring six synthetic pitches for public use and two turf pitches to be used and maintained by the Walkerville Cricket Club);
  4. New 10m x 4m shelter with two picnic tables/seating and new barbecue, with an accessible path linking through to Alfred Street; and
  5. New public toilet (Exeloo). 

This survey aims to understand whether residents and visitors are satisfied with the proposed upgrades and to understand how the community uses the current Walkerville Oval site.
