Supply and projected demand for outdoor sports fields in the City of Melbourne


January 30, 2025

The Future Melbourne Committee (FMC) will consider a report detailing the supply and projected demand for outdoor sports fields in the City of Melbourne on 4 February.

The report provides additional context to the outdoor sports field-related recommendations in the draft Royal Park Master Plan.

The report is now available on the committee meeting agenda page.

The report will also be included in the document library on the Draft Royal Park Master Plan page following the meeting on Tuesday 4 February.

The report details the demand for additional sports fields due to population growth, participation trends for various sports and provision standards for these sports. This report provides research to help inform council decisions on the importance of allocating resources to upgrade or develop new recreation infrastructure for the city.

We encourage you to read the report to inform your feedback on the draft Royal Park Master Plan by 5pm on 14 February 2025.

Also please note, you can talk to our project staff onsite at Nature Play on Saturday 8 February 2025 from 11am to 2pm as part of our final engagement activities on the draft Royal Park Master Plan.
