Major upgrades to Bendigo Stadium are underway, including two new courts, refurbished existing courts, outdoor netball lighting, solar panels, and a backup generator, with completion expected in late 2026.

Bendigo Stadium Progress

Redevelopment at the stadium focuses on expanded court capacity and improved infrastructure. These changes align with broader efforts to enhance facilities used for netball and other indoor sports in Bendigo.

Bowls and Croquet Club Works

Redevelopment works at the Bendigo Bowls and Croquet Clubs are active, featuring four refurbished bowling greens (two synthetic with lighting), two competition croquet lawns, and clubhouse upgrades, also due to finish in late 2026. The projects address playing surfaces and amenities at the clubs.

North Bendigo Pavilion Start

Construction has started on the new $3.77M North Bendigo Pavilion at the North Bendigo Recreation Reserve, expected to be completed in late 2026. This adds to the sequence of active site works across the city.

The upgrades coincide with a period of sustained investment in local sport infrastructure. Local detail draws from named reserves and clubs referenced in project announcements. Evidence for timelines and scope appears directly in government and local reporting on the initiatives.

Further stages of the works will continue through the remainder of the year, with attention on meeting the late 2026 targets for the listed sites. Residents and clubs can monitor updates through the Victorian Government sport portal for any schedule adjustments.
