Projects

A big part of making Bayside a better place is the construction of new and improved community infrastructure. We have a strong program of investment in projects to meet the changing needs of our community now and into the future.

Projects currently on the go include:

Basketball stadium - Tulip Street

We are constructing four new basketball courts at the Sandringham Family Leisure Centre in Tulip Street, Cheltenham. Construction of the new stadium commenced in January 2022 and will help to meet the current and future needs of basketball locally and enable the basketball association to expand its programs.
