We are upgrading the netball facilities and amenities at Firth Park, Mudgeeraba. The upgrade will occur in 2 phases.

Firth Park is a 15-hectare multi-purpose sports park that has 17 netball courts, a baseball diamond, 2 senior and one junior rugby league fields, a skate park and the Mudgeeraba Bowls Club.

Upgrading the facilities will increase the capacity of the park, catering for regional population growth. It will also establish Firth Park as a premier netball hub on the Gold Coast, suitable for staging large regional and state competitions.

The detailed design has been completed.
