KORUMBURRA TRAINING FACILITY
Korumburra, Australia
Project Summary
A five-lane outdoor training facility at Korumburra Recreation Reserve, delivered for South Gippsland Shire Council to serve both cricket and soccer. The facility covers 18.6m x 36m, long enough for a full run-up inside the enclosure, with four club lanes and one public lane under a full soft netting roof. Retractable dividing nets with lockable storage boxes let the space be opened right up or split into individual lanes depending on who is training.
Objectives
- Deliver a genuine multi-use outdoor facility serving both Korumburra Cricket Club and Korumburra City Soccer Club.
- Provide enough length for a full run-up inside the enclosure.
- Separate club lanes from a public lane while keeping the whole space flexible.
- Protect the perimeter mesh from cricket ball impact.
Key Features Delivered
- Five lanes over 18.6m x 36m: four club lanes plus one public lane, all under a full soft netting roof.
- Retractable dividing nets with dedicated lockable storage boxes, so the space can be opened right up or broken into individual lanes.
- SUPER SHIELD 10mm non-directional synthetic grass with both cricket and soccer line marking.
- Black PVC-coated chain mesh enclosing the club lanes and full chain mesh on the public lane.
- Black rubber across the back of the facility to protect the mesh from cricket balls.
Outcomes & Benefits
- Multi-use: Cricket and soccer share one surface with dedicated line marking for each sport.
- Flexibility: Retractable dividers convert five lanes into one open court in minutes.
- Community access: A dedicated public lane keeps the facility available outside club hours.
- Longevity: Rubber backing and PVC-coated mesh reduce wear from repeated ball impact.
