SESH is shelved The 70-hectare South East Sports Hub (SESH) in Bangholme has been sensationally shelved. Property developer Intrapac withdrew its planning application for the sports and recreation precinct at 226-256 Pillars Road, after its deal with Keysborough Golf Club expired last month. Prior to expiry, KGC members emphatically voted against extending the 10-year deal.
With a legion of support from sports clubs and bodies, the SESH was touted as a “once in a generation opportunity” to address the shortage of sport facilities in the region. Intrapac had pledged to fund the $30 million stage-one of the SESH, including nine sport fields, netball courts and two pavilions. The total package was to span more than 25 sport fields.
However, the plan was controversially tied to the rezoning of the golf club’s current home in the Green Wedge - a move that the State Government resolutely rejected. The golf course in Hutton Road would have been sold to Intrapac and turned into a 1600 home estate, while KGC moved to a new Intrapac-funded golf course near the SESH on Pillars
Road. Intrapac and KGC took aim at the State Government for failing to back a “$60 million free kick“ of extra housing and sports fields. Environment groups rejoiced, praising the Government for holding firm on the Urban Growth Boundary. More pictures, turn to page 3
