“These new courts are a game changer for netball in Broken Hill,” Netball Association president Tori McManus said.

“It reflects our commitment to fostering local talent, promoting active lifestyles, and providing a welcoming space for everyone to enjoy the game.”

The grand re-opening event will feature exhibition matches, guest speakers, and opportunities for community members to explore the new facilities.

There will also be activities for kids and refreshments available throughout the day.
