Removal of Davilak Park Tennis Facilities and the
City of Cockburn Community Sport and Recreation Facilities Plan (2018 – 2033)


The City of Cockburn is preparing to remove the tennis facilities (courts and club house) at Davilak Oval in Hamilton Hill in late 2020/early 2021, as they are no longer fit for purpose and have reached the end of their asset lifecycle.

The tennis facilities have been earmarked for removal since 2018, following the adoption of the Western Suburbs Sporting Precinct Study (WSSPS).

In the coming years, Davilak Oval is expected to receive approximately $7.39 million in upgrades. The proposed upgrades are detailed in the WSSPS and include improvements to parking, club-rooms, and sporting grounds. The future improvements are expected to be delivered in 2024/2025.

The City of Cockburn Community Sport and Recreation Facilities Plan (2018 – 2033) provides strategic direction and guidance in the provision of community, sport and recreation facilities across the City, in line with the significant level of population growth it has experienced and which is expected to continue over the course of the next 10-20 years.

You can download a copy of the Plan or the Summary Brochure by visiting the City website.
