The upgrades at Bendigo Stadium include a new 2-court annex, upgrades to the existing courts 9 and 10, as well as solar installation, new lighting for the outdoor netball courts, and car park and accessibility works. These improvements will help the stadium maintain its reputation as Bendigo’s premier indoor sports venue.
