New multipurpose space for Gunbalanya community

Gunbalanya Youth Centre has been a hive of activity with the welcomed addition of the newly-installed half basketball court.
Community members of all ages, particularly the youth, have been thoroughly enjoying the facility and all the benefits it brings as a multipurpose space equipped for a variety of different sports, an event and performance venue and more.
The most exciting news is that current basketball competitions can continue and there are also opportunities to play the popular 3x3 basketball within the community as well.
Situated behind the Gunbalanya Youth Centre, the half sized basketball court features a hard shade cover and new lighting allowing it to be utilised both day 
and night.
West Arnhem Regional Council Manager Community Services Adrian McCann said the facility will not only benefit the young people, but also their families and all community members who can be a part of the audience.
“It’s been a great journey in terms of getting the half court built, with lots of thought going into it; it’s a relief to have this great venue accessible to young people and the wider community,” he said.
The final touches including fencing will be completed shortly, and the community can look forward to the official launch of the basketball courts coming soon. More details to be released. 
This project was made possible through the Aboriginal Benefit Account and West Arnhem Regional Council is thankful for this support.
