The City of Port Lincoln invites community feedback on the Draft Centenary Oval, Kirton Point and Ravendale Sporting Precincts Master Plans from Thursday 10 April to Friday 9 May 2025. Developed in collaboration with local sporting groups and key stakeholders, these master plans provide a strategic framework to guide future projects at each precinct to enhance key sporting facilities to meet the needs of our community.
As part of the City’s Sport and Recreation Strategy 2023-2027, adopted in February 2023, the development of these Master Plans was identified as a key strategic initiative to help Council and local sporting organisations prioritise investment in sporting and recreation infrastructure and to create a clear vision for each precinct. These Master Plans will be integral in supporting future grant applications and ensuring a more coordinated approach to facility upgrades, reducing the risk of piecemeal investment.
The proposed upgrades within the Master Plans aim to deliver high-quality, inclusive, and fit-for-purpose facilities that cater to both competitive and recreational users, that can be delivered separately over many years as funding becomes available.
The draft Master Plans propose a range of short, medium, and long-term projects across the three precincts:
Centenary Oval Precinct

- Medium-term: New change rooms/canteen, player surface and lighting upgrade, village green improvements
