The proposed South East Sports Hub (SESH) can be a sorely needed game-changer for the provision of community sport and activity in the City of Greater Dandenong (CGD) and wider south-east region.
Slated for construction on Pillars Road in Bangholme, the prospective 69-hectare development will become a regionally significant sports and recreational hub.
The original Master Plan for the SESH site was designed based on CGD’s own sporting needs assessment.
While subject to change to ensure it meets up-to-date community needs, current plans for Stage 1 of the SESH include two dual-purpose grounds that can cater for four football pitches and two cricket fields, a multipurpose Aussie Rules and cricket field, a synthetic football pitch and eight netball courts.
The development will include a pavilion, lighting, landscaping, 367 car parks, a playground and open green space for the community to enjoy.
Stage 1 of the SESH, including land, is valued at approximately $59m.
It will be funded and developed entirely by Intrapac Property as part of a broader package of works that would include a new housing estate at 55 Hutton Road in neighbouring Keysborough.
Next door to the SESH would be the new home of the Keysborough Golf Club, creating a distinctive regional sporting precinct.
