Commencing May 2024, we will replace the perimeter fencing around Percy Treyvaud Memorial Park - along Quentin Road and Chadstone Road and around the wetlands.
These works form part of the Percy Treyvaud Memorial Park master plan implementation.

Why we need these new sports facilities
Sport Australia participation data lists basketball and netball as the third and fourth most popular sports for children in Australia, illustrating the need for more facilities to host these sporting activities.
At present, the City of Stonnington currently only has two indoor courts for netball and none for basketball, compared to the 13 needed to support our population. This is a long overdue investment in sports with a higher female participation rate.
Netball in Stonnington
In their most recent data, there were 2,785 Netball Victoria registered netball players living in Stonnington.
Excluding the Prahran Netball Association's 1,129 registered members, there are 1,656 Stonnington resident netballers who are forced to play outside of their local area due to a lack of suitable facilities.
The following clubs are an example of those who play outside of Stonnington because of a lack of courts:
- Malvern Netball Club
- Sacre Coeur Netball Club
- Korowa Netball Club
- St Rochs Netball Club
- Lloyd Street Primary
- St. Cecelia’s
Basketball in Stonnington
Approximately 2,800 Stonnington residents are registered with nearby basketball associations due to there being no courts available in Stonnington.
Women's access to sporting facilities
Women and girls need modern, safe, welcoming and inclusive sports facilities.
Sports like football and cricket have long dominated our sporting facilities, while more popular sports for girls and women, such as netball and basketball, have had fewer facilities.
A new indoor facility for these sports means more of us can participate.

May 2023 - Have your say on Stonnington Sports Centre
Have your say on a proposal to name the new multi-purpose sports facility at Percy Treyvaud Memorial Park, Stonnington Sports Centre.
We are currently building a new sports facility at the northern end of Percy Treyvaud Memorial Park to accommodate lawn bowls, tennis, lacrosse, cricket, netball and basketball.
Under construction is a building to replace the old Chadstone Bowls and Chadstone Tennis clubrooms and provide facilities for Chadstone Lacrosse and the East Malvern Tooronga Cricket clubs. The build also includes a new high ball sports stadium for netball and basketball.
Recognising the importance of this significant community asset within the city of Stonnington, Council, at its 6 March meeting, endorsed Stonnington Sports Centre as the preferred name (refer Council Minutes 6 March 2023 – Item 8.6).
Stonnington Sports Centre has also been confirmed by Geographic Names Victoria as meeting naming requirements of the Victorian Government’s ‘Rules for Naming Places in Victoria 2022.’
The formal naming process now requires community consultation on the proposed name, so before progressing we would like to hear your views on the name Stonnington Sports Centre.
Have your say
By 30 June 2023, complete a short survey on the Connect Stonnington hub to tell us if you support the name Stonnington Sports Centre or, if not, is there another name you would suggest.
At the close of consultation, all feedback will be reported to Council where, subject to the survey results, Stonnington Sports Centre will be confirmed as the name, or further consultation may be required on an alternate option.
For more information and to complete the survey visit Connect Stonnington.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of the naming of this important community facility - complete the survey by 30 June 2023.

Ground breaking signals start of sports precinct build
Malvern East will soon be home to the City of Stonnington’s biggest ever investment in sporting infrastructure, with work underway at Percy Treyvaud Memorial Park to create a precinct for local and community sport.
The two-year build will deliver four indoor mixed-use courts for netball and basketball, a new eight-rink synthetic bowling green, seven new tennis courts and new, contemporary sporting facilities and clubrooms for the current users - Chadstone Bowls Club, Chadstone Tennis Club, Chadstone Lacrosse Club, Chadstone Recreation and Civic Club and East-Malvern Tooronga Cricket Club.
Commemorating this important construction milestone, an onsite ‘breaking ground’ ceremony on 31 January was attended by Cr Jami Klisaris, City of Stonnington Mayor; Dr Katie Allen MP, Federal Member for Higgins; Kate Campbell on behalf of the Stonnington City Netball Association and Alan Jolly on behalf of Chadstone Bowls Club.
City of Stonnington Mayor, Cr Jami Klisaris, is excited to see this important project underway.
'This is a big moment for sport in Stonnington and is an investment of over $40m in our local clubs and people who want to play community sport,' said Cr Klisaris.
'Brand new indoor netball and basketball courts will address the gap in facilities for sports popular with girls and, teamed with contemporary new facilities for lawn bowls, tennis, lacrosse and cricket, will mean our local clubs can plan for an exciting future in Malvern East.
'We are very appreciative of the Australian Government for their $4 million contribution towards the project and the dedication of our local sporting clubs, who create opportunities for people to play, participate, volunteer and connect,' added Cr Klisaris.
Federal Member or Higgins, Dr Katie Allen MP said, 'As a mother of four and Higgins local for over four decades, I am thrilled to see this new sporting complex become a reality for Stonnington residents, thanks to a $4 million contribution from the Commonwealth Government.
'Our community has waited for this day to arrive, so we can celebrate what will be a fantastic community sporting hub that we can all enjoy,' said Dr Allen.
'This is a very exciting project,' said Alan Jolly from the Chadstone Bowls Club.
'I would like to thank Stonnington Council for listening to the community and including lawn bowls in what will be a truly world class facility serving the needs of multiple sporting groups.
'We are looking forward to moving into what will be a fantastic new home for many years to come,' added Mr Jolly.
Representing Stonnington City Netball Association, Kate Campbell said, “This facility is a lifeline for all court-based sports in Stonnington but particularly for netball, which has one of the highest female participation rates in team sport and has struggled for facilities.
'Most importantly, it’s a wonderful community asset that brings together many sporting and recreational groups and enables all of us to grow our programs and cater for all genders and abilities within the community.
'We are grateful to Council and the Federal Government for their support in delivering what will be a hugely beneficial asset for the community,' added Ms Campbell.
Project background
This over $40m project, which has received $4m in support from the Australian Government, will also create an extra 1,000m² of public open space, upgrades to facilities in the park, and over 200 car parking spaces. Extensive landscaping and plantings will complement the works, including more than 65 additional trees.
Works are expected to be completed in late 2023. Regular visitors to Percy Treyvaud Memorial Park will be pleased to learn that the main oval and most of the park will remain open during the works, with only the construction area for sporting facilities fenced off.
Residents who live near Percy Treyvaud Memorial Park will be kept updated throughout the works.
11 January 2022 - Construction starting from late-January 2022
Further to recent advice that ADCO Constructions were awarded the contract to build the Percy Treyvaud Memorial Park sports facilities, we can now confirm ADCO will be moving onto site in late-January 2022 with construction to start shortly thereafter.
If you are a regular park visitor you will be pleased to learn that, for the duration of the works, the main oval and most of the park will remain open, with only the construction area fenced off.
When completed, this project will increase the area of public open space by more than 1,000m² and, towards the end of the building works, we will upgrade the oval and path network making the park even more attractive and accessible.
At this stage, we anticipate construction of the new sports facilities will take around two years to complete.
