‘We just want her home’
Toast 10 years on Players from the 2013 Pakenham A-Grade netball premiership side have come together to celebrate a decade on. All but one teammate was able to attend the function as they reflected on the remarkable rise to premiership glory in the then Casey Cardinia Football Netball League, reliving the day with a highlights video and reconnecting over lunch.

Deep in the red By Shelby Brooks Pakenham’s only golf club has gone into voluntary administration. News of Deep Creek Golf Club going bust was confirmed by Cardinia Shire Council on Wednesday 19 April. Cardinia Shire Council manager active and connected communities Kristen Jackson said the shire was informed of the voluntary administration of the Deep Creek Golf Club and was still developing and working through its options.
This includes engagement with the administrator appointed by the Deep Creek Golf Association. The state-of-the-art facilities were opened in October 2019, funded by the shire for $9.2 million, with the State Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund contributing an additional $2.825 million. Cardinia Shire Council owns the Deep Creek Reserve land, including the golf course and main building. The council has a lease with the Deep Creek Golf Club for their use and operation of the
golf course and associated infrastructure, use of part of the main complex and operation of the main complex, Ms Jackson said. The original Pakenham Golf Club was constructed in 1980. In late 2019 the club moved to a new facility located at the southern end of the original course, constructing two new holes, a massive putting green, a short game practice area and a public driving range. The club changed its name from Pakenham to Deep Creek in 2019 to fit with the new surroundings of Deep Creek Reserve.
The Deep Creek Golf Club offered Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday competitions. Deep Creek Reserve, including the golf course, is zoned PPRZ (Public Park and Recreation Zone) under the Cardinia Planning Scheme. Any rezoning would require a planning scheme amendment approved by the Victorian Government. Deep Creek Golf Club was reached for comment.
