Help Us Build More Courts - Sign the Petition
Community sport on the Southern Peninsula is thriving - but our indoor facilities are not keeping up. Players are being turned away, games are running until 11pm, and kids are missing out close to home. No significant investment has been made in 25 years.
Why this matters
We are turning away players. Games are pushed late into the night. Travel is up to 40min for many families. We simply do not have enough indoor courts to meet demand - and there has been no significant government investment in 25 years.
Sign the petition to call on all levels of Government to invest in new indoor sporting facilities for the Mornington Peninsula.
