West Coast Fever players Jess Anstiss and Sunday Aryang joined City of Bayswater Mayor Dan Bull and Councillors as well as representatives from Netball WA and the Noranda Netball Association to celebrate the official opening of the new Noranda netball courts on Saturday, 29 May.
The visit was one of several by Fever players to local netball Associations over the course of the weekend as they spent time engaging with the community, meeting fans and signing autographs.
The completion of the Noranda netball courts redevelopment project was funded through the City of Bayswater’s $5.09 million local economic and social stimulus package which aimed to fast-track projects to support the local community.
The redevelopment included the resurfacing of the 16 netball courts, new fencing around the perimeter, new energy saving LED sports floodlighting and improved drainage and kerbing.
City of Bayswater Mayor Dan Bull said the redevelopment of the popular sporting facility was a huge win for netball teams and supporters.
"We are absolutely pumped to be able to support our local netball community with this major upgrade, which is a win on so many levels," he said.
"Noranda is the home of netball in Perth's inner-eastern suburbs. The Noranda Netball Association comprises 15 clubs, who train and play on the courts every week.
"Not only will the redevelopment attract more players to netball and boost the profile of the sport, it will raise the standard of competition for local clubs and increase player safety.”
