THE City of Casey Council has secured YMCA Victoria to manage the municipality’s leisure and stadium facilities for the next 10 years.
The Endeavour Hills Leisure Centre, Berwick Leisure Centre along with the new Casey Indoor Leisure Centre have had their contracts with YMCA renewed.
The new centre will have 10 full sized basketball and netball courts, including a show court hall with spectator seating for up to 1500 people, a function area and new commercial cafe.
“The new facility will be one of the most prominent indoor sporting venues throughout Victoria and will have the versatility to host major national and international sporting events and competitions,” YMCA Casey area manager Matt Spencer said.
Casey ARC, Casey RACE and Doveton Pool in the Park will remain under YMCA management under a separate contract to be reviewed next year.
Mayor Sam Aziz said the council was pleased to continue the relationship that had been built between the council and the YMCA.
“Following a successful two decade partnership, the council is pleased that the YMCA will continue to manage gymnastics and stadium facilities within the City of Casey for a further 10 years,” he said.
“The council is looking forward to continuing to work with YMCA to further develop sporting opportunities for both our residents and players from further afield.”
