Cessnock City Council is proud to announce the completion of the upgrades to recreation facilities at the Miller Park Regional Sporting Complex, Branxton.

The project involved the construction of two additional netball and tennis courts, and associated works.

The completed works, identified in the adopted Miller Park Masterplan, provide the community with access to quality sporting facilities, resulting in increased participation in activities that improve overall health and wellbeing.

Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said improvements like these support participation and performance opportunities in sports at all levels.

"We know that increased participation in sport isn’t possible without access to quality facilities and the improvements to the Miller Park Regional Sporting Complex support participation and performance opportunities at all levels, whether social or competitive."

Cessnock City Council Mayor, Jay Suvaal, is encouraging the community to visit Miller Park facilities and enjoy the new and improved recreational space.

"It is wonderful to see more amenities to encourage community inclusion and participation," Clr Suvaal said.

"Sport, whether social or competitive, is so important in regional communities, where participation can facilitate the building of stronger communities, inclusion, social connection and encourage lifelong friendships.

"I look forward to seeing members of the community take advantage of the new amenities on offer and encourage those who have yet to see the completed courts to come along and check out the new space."

This project was made possible due to funding received through the NSW Government’s Regional Sport Facility Fund.
