Bombay Community Multisport Development

“A family focused facility that enhances the quality of sport, recreation and

cultural opportunities for Bombay and the wider communities”

The Bombay and surrounding communities have an existing recreational precinct that provides the hub for sport and recreation.  This precinct is made up of two key sites which are adjacent to one another; they are the Bombay War Memorial Recreational Grounds and Bombay Primary School.  

These two sites provide a variety of sport and recreation facilities and opportunities.  However, the majority of the facilities are aging, expensive to maintain and not appropriate in terms of size or quality to accommodate the current demand. 

The Bombay community have been working together to progress a series of development opportunities that are focused on the Bombay War Memorial Recreation Ground, Bombay School and its surrounds.  To assist us in this process we have engaged www.visitorsolutions.net

The need to rectify the aging facilities on the Bombay War Memorial Recreation Ground and plan with the future in mind, initiated community discussion that identified a range of related opportunities connected with the site. These were:  

• The potential to purchase additional green fields surrounding the Bombay War Memorial Recreation Ground (given that the land owner has offered to sell a portion of land adjoining the site to the community). This would add to the existing recreation precinct and help future proof the site.

• Support the Bombay Primary school which is losing green space to classes as student growth continues.
• The opportunity to plan for a sports and recreation precinct which includes both the facilities and sites of the Bombay school and Bombay War Memorial Recreation Ground.
• The ability to provide for better traffic management and safer access to and from the Bombay school and Bombay War Memorial Recreation Ground and associated facilities.  

On this website you will find all the work completed to date including the community updates, a copy of the Community Plan, Pre-Feasibility Study and the Full Feasibility Study Proposal. 

We are currently completing the Full Feasibility Study.
