A message from the Bedford Soccer Association:

We have the opportunity to support the Enhancement of the Bedford Hammonds Plains High School – Community Centre (CPA replacement facility).

The Enhancement includes:

1. Upgraded school gymnasium
2. Separate community gymnasium
3. Preschool, youth, senior program spaces
4. Art and leisure program spaces
5. Community meeting rooms
6. Dance and exercise studio spaces
7. Child minding area
8. Artificial turf regulation football/soccer turf

These spaces will be constructed in such a way as to allow for daytime access to the centre by members of the public as well as evenings and weekend access. The facility will provide extensive enhancement to the types and quantities of recreation, sport and leisure opportunities currently available in the area.

Funding for the enhancement can come in one of several options of an Area Rate.
