After two rounds of community consultation to identify the most appropriate design for our commuity, we're excited to announce that the Matthews Reserve upgrade is now finished.

The upgrade included:

  • New tennis court fencing, with the introduction of a public 'book-a-court' system to allow our community to use the tennis courts outside of club hours (Tuesdays and Saturdays)
  • New seating, picnic setting and shelter
  • DDA compliant paths
  • Expanded grassy areas
  • New irrigation, additional plantings including trees and garden beds.

Official Opening - 20 September 2026

We opened the newly upgraded Matthews Reserve with a community event featuring live music, free BBQ, free coffee and cupcakes,  and live mural painting.
