Sports Allocations and Sport Development

Sportsgrounds and facilities season allocations 

Yarra's sportsgrounds and facilities are available for use by local sporting organisations based on a seasonal allocation process. Seasonal hire agreements are strict and limited to give all park users the opportunity to enjoy these spaces and keep the grounds healthy. During allocated times, all other park users should keep off the ground while being used for training and competition.
