Cardinia Shire Council is committed to continuing to improve local facilities to keep residents active and moving. The need for future netball pavilion upgrades was identified in the Garfield Recreation Reserve Master Plan (2015). Council had worked closely with the Garfield Netball Club, Garfield Recreation Reserve Community Asset Committee, Garfield Football Club and Netball Victoria on this pavilion upgrade project.
