Contract awarded for Baarmutha Park nets

INDIGO Shire Council has awarded the contract to carry out the design and construction of the Baarmutha Park multi-purpose sports nets to iDwala Pty Ltd. The project, valued at a total of $602,000, is funded by Sport and Recreation Victoria ($100,000) with contributions from council ($225,000), Beechworth Wanderers Cricket Club ($20,000), Cricket Australia ($30,000) and the Beechworth and District Community Bank ($150,000). The project will transform the ageing, non-compliant three-lane cricket practice nets into a modern, all-weather multipurpose facility designed to accommodate a variety of sporting and recreational activities. Mayor Sophie Price said the multi-purpose facility will enhance recreational and sporting opportunities for the Beechworth community and surrounding areas. "We're pleased to award this contract and move forward with this project,” she said. “This investment shows councils commitment to community well-being through quality sporting facilities that promote both physical activity and social connection." Beechworth Wanderers Cricket Club president Brenton Surrey said it was reward for the cricket club's committee's work in advocating and progressing the development. "They've done a hell of a lot of work to get a really good outcome, the club's worked really hard since the funding was announced in the last state election," he said. "Hopefully in the next couple of weeks we can get a better understanding of how things progress. "It's no just cricket, it will be a really good asset for the community." Works are scheduled to commence in autumn 2025. You can stay up to date with the project via council’s website.
