The final sections of asphalt have gone down at the new Victoria Domain netball courts.

Contractors finished the work last week.

The $4 million redevelopment of the courts started in February and Gisborne Netball Centre was able to play on the first seven courts in mid-July.

“A special ‘high-performance’ surface is to be laid on top of the asphalt on the remaining three courts,” he said.

“That will be done in December.”
