Following community feedback on a proposed concept plan for Wantirna Reserve East in September/October 2021, this location has been selected as the new home for the Knox Hockey Club. This Reserve was selected for its proximity to transport, minimal impact to local residents and ability to house an appropriate facility that meets the needs of hockey.

A new synthetic hockey pitch will be constructed to replace the existing cricket and football oval and will use the existing pavilion and car park.

Detailed designs will be completed this year, with construction to commence in early 2022 once planning approvals and a tender process have been completed. Council will continue to consult with groups that use the reserve and Knox Hockey Club will be engaged in the design process.
