There are 12 netball clubs in the area and only two courts to accommodate them. The courts will be designed for multi-purpose use to meet the high demand for suitable playing courts, from a range of sporting groups in Wyong Shire's rapidly growing north.

The courts will also be used for overflow car parking when the playing fields and community hall are in use.

"We need more sporting infrastructure for our growing population and to make sure our young people remain active and can participate in sport close to home," mayor Doug Eaton said. "This is just the beginning of what will be needed up there in terms of sporting infrastructure and council will be doing everything we can, including seeking support from other levels of government, to make it happen."

Councillors Greg Best and Adam Troy raised the motion calling for the new courts.
