Artificial Turf Set to Increase Soccer Engagement

Whittlesea has marked a significant advancement in grassroots soccer with the inauguration of a new FIFA-accredited synthetic pitch at Partridge Recreation Reserve in Lalor, funded entirely by the local council at a cost of $2.6 million. The state-of-the-art facility replaces a natural grass pitch and features enhanced drainage, fencing, and LED sports lighting, leading to an increase in weekly usage from 20 to over 40 hours and fewer weather-related cancellations. This upgrade aligns with the council’s initiative to boost participation in organized sports, particularly among women and girls, benefiting local organizations like Mill Park Soccer Club. Notably, the project emphasizes sustainability by incorporating repurposed olive pith and diverting approximately 145 tonnes of waste from landfills. Mayor Martin Taylor highlighted the long-term benefits for community health and sports development.
