Background
Council is proposing to create new netball courts and facilities in Richard Murden Reserve, Haberfield to address a need for high quality netball training spaces identified by the former Leichhardt Council.
Council previously investigated developing these facilities at Shields Playground in Darley Road, Leichhardt, but this option was not pursued due to extensive community opposition.
Following the Council amalgamations other options for the location of netball facilities were examined across the new Inner West Council area and it was determined that Richard Murden Reserve, Haberfield, was the most suitable site.

As part of Phase 1, Council will investigate options for improved parking arrangements along Hawthorne Parade. There will be further community engagement on any proposed changes.
Access to the courts
The proposed facilities will be hard surface training courts with bookings available during weekday afternoons and evenings.
