Indoor facilities across the Mornington Peninsula need urgent updates and expansion. The Mornington Shire has released the Sports Capacity Plan Volume 2 (Indoor Sports), revealing a critical shortage of indoor courts. The report highlights the necessity for 6-10 additional courts by 2036 to support the growing demand for basketball, the most popular sport in our region.

We’re working with the Mornington District Basketball Association to bring this to life and your input will help transform the recommendations in the report into reality, ensuring our community has the facilities it needs to thrive.
