In May 2020, The City of Busselton endorsed the Sport and Recreation Strategy 2020-2030 (SRFS). The strategy acknowledges that Dunsborough based clubs highlighted the need for increased space to train and play basketball, netball and football (both soccer and Aussie rules) which was underpinned by findings that playing fields and indoor courts are under-supplied in the Dunsborough area.

Included in the strategy are a list of priority projects for the City to focus on between now and 2030. The Dunsborough Sport, Recreation and Community Services Planning and Investigation project includes the following two priorities from the strategy:

  • Recommended Priority 2: Masterplan the Dunsborough Playing Fields and Naturaliste Community Centre
  • Recommended Priority 3: Partner with Dunsborough and Districts Country Club to maximise the opportunities at this site for Dunsborough sub district

This two-phase project will investigate and identify opportunities to increase spaces to train and play all major sports, consider the future of community spaces such as the library, and result in masterplans for the following sites:

  • The Dunsborough Playing Fields and the Naturaliste Community Centre (NCC)
  • The Dunsborough Districts Country Club (DDCC)

This page will serve as a hub for all information related this project.

    On 19 and 20 July, the City hosted drop-in sessions at the Dunsborough and Districts Country Club and Naturaliste Community Centre to provide an opportunity for community to view draft masterplan options for both sites. These options were developed by Otium Planning in response to community consultation conducted between November 2022 and February 2023 and showcase future opportunities to maximise space for team sports, recreation and community activities.

    Couldn't make it? You can now view the 'Draft Masterplan Options' at the top right-hand corner of this project page.

    • What do you like?
    • Have we missed anything?
    • Which option do you prefer? Why?
    • If you had to choose one recommendation to prioritise, what would it be?
    • General feedback
