The following projects are highlighted for prioritisation, with funding sourced from a combination of grants and municipal funds.

Sutherlands Park

Sports fans will be excited to hear the City is planning for the future of one of our largest sports reserves, Sutherlands Park. Construction is underway on the new Sutherlands Park Youth Entertainment Space (Y.E.S). Floodlighting will also be replaced on Reserves A and B. 

Following the endorsement of the Sutherlands Park Master Plan, the City will now make the largest financial investment in sport and recreation in its history. The 30-hectare site is already home to a synthetic hockey ground, indoor cricket training facility, seven sports reserves, five pavilions, a clubhouse, a community centre, two playgrounds and a Bush Forever environment site.

Southern River Business Park

Southern River Business Park is the largest commercial development project undertaken by the City of Gosnells to date. The four-stage, 51-lot project will generate new business and employment opportunities, boost the local economy and address demand for quality commercial and light industrial property in the City’s southern corridor. Net profits from the sale of lots will be reinvested into future projects in the City of Gosnells. All lots are now under offer, with civil construction work underway. 

Gosnells Bowling Club

Additions to this facility will cater for a growing membership base.

Electric Vehicles

As part of the City's commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and becoming more sustainable, new electric vehicle chargers have been installed at the Civic Centre in Gosnells and Mills Park in Beckenham. Nine electric fleet vehicles have been purchased. 

Mary Carroll Park

The final upgrades at Mary Carroll Park will be completed this year. The Eudoria Street Hub will be completed with the installation of a new all ages, all abilities playground. The new toilet block, including a Changing Places changeroom, and pedestrian bridges are now open. The new bridges provide a circular walkway around the protected bird sanctuary within walking distance of the Gosnells town centre.

Langford Indoor Sports Centre

A new indoor netball and sports facility will be constructed at Langford Sporting Complex, home of the Southern Districts Netball Association. The first indoor netball facility in the City will include four indoor courts – three of which will be used as multi-sport courts - plus change rooms, club rooms and grandstand spectator seating.

Jean Garvey Park 

This park upgrade will include irrigation, sub soil drainage and an iron filter in order to provide another sportsground in Gosnells. 

Station Street Bridge

This new bridge will be dual lane and constructed next to the existing wooden bridge, which will be used as a shared path for pedestrians and cyclists. 

Ranford Road Bus Lanes

Bus priority lanes are being constructed on Ranford Road between Nicholson Road and Campbell Road.

Barrett Street

This street in Southern River has been upgraded with a new road surface and kerbing.
