We are investing in two upgrade projects at Harry Moore Oval in Canton Beach to enhance recreational facilities and better serve the needs of the community and sporting groups:

Carpark and hardcourt upgrades
Sportsground lighting upgrades

These projects will deliver improved sporting infrastructure, better lighting and enhanced parking facilities, ensuring Harry Moore Oval remains a hub for local activity.

Sportsground lighting upgrades

March – 30 June 2025 (weather permitting)

We are also upgrading the sportsground lighting to improve safety and extend the usability of Harry Moore Oval for night-time activities. The new lighting will enhance visibility for training and games, allowing for greater use of the ovals throughout the year.

Parking upgrades and new hardcourts

July – 30 November 2025 (weather permitting)

We are upgrading the carpark to increase capacity and improve accessibility. This includes resurfacing, new guttering, bump stops and line marking, ensuring a safer and more efficient parking experience.

Additionally, we are constructing two new multi-use hard courts, providing versatile spaces for netball and pickleball and offering valuable overflow parking during busy periods.

Our commitment to the community

These upgrades represent our commitment to providing high-quality recreational spaces for our community. We are dedicated to delivering these projects with minimal disruption and appreciate your patience as we work to improve Harry Moore Oval. We will provide regular updates on project progress and any potential impacts. We encourage you to check back here for the latest news and information.

The light pole in the south-western corner of field two is home to an eastern osprey, an endangered species. Council has acted on relevant advice and will not remove this pole. It will be decommissioned by disconnecting the power supply and maintained, minimising disturbance to the nesting bird.
Approximately 30 trees within the carpark and one large tree for the hardcourt construction will require removal to facilitate these upgrades. We understand the importance of our natural environment, and in line with our commitment to environmental sustainability, we will plant two replacement trees for every tree removed. These trees will be planted during the next available planting season following the tree removal.
