Background

For years, the South Adelaide Basketball Club has been lobbying for a new facility to meet the needs of its membership (over 2200 players). The existing Marion Basketball Stadium is well over 50 years old and must be replaced.  

In April 2022, the Marion Council received Federal Government funding of $6 million to upgrade the Marion Basketball Stadium.  

 

At its General Council meeting held on 27 February 2024, Marion Council considered that the best solution to replace the ageing basketball facility at Norfolk Road is to replace it with a five-court basketball stadium. The overarching principle is maximising public spaces for the good of the community.

 

Council staff have now developed a site plan for the new stadium and associated car parking at Norfolk Road.
