A major milestone has been reached with 44,000 sqm of turf laid on the fields at The Hills Shire's newest sports complex, Samantha Riley Drive Reserve, North Kellyville.
Once complete, the Reserve will feature four multi-purpose fields that can be reconfigured into two ovals, an amenities building, change rooms, a kiosk, a referee room and a 200-space carpark.
"Samantha Riley Drive Reserve is the first sports complex to be constructed in North Kellyville, and the community are very excited for the upcoming completion of this project," Mayor Gangemi said.
"This will be an enormous asset for the community. It will provide a new place to be active, play sports and exercise outdoors.
"The construction of Samantha Riley Drive Reserve demonstrates Council's commitment to delivering more open space and sports facilities in our Shire's growth areas," he said.
The complex also includes cricket practice nets, shared pathways, a playground, a picnic area and a basketball half-court.
"The laying of the turf brings us one step closer to project completion, expected in the second half of 2023, weather permitting," Mayor Gangemi added.
