Bayside Community Sports Centre is a joint venture between Sandringham College (VSBA) and Bayside City Council.

Located on Sandringham College’s Holloway Road campus, the Community Sports Precinct together with the new High Performance Centre provides 3 x indoor competition netball courts, 1 x outdoor covered competition netball court and 7 outdoor courts, including all associated amenities and support facilities. In addition, the existing school oval has been fully refurbished for community sports including cricket, AFL and soccer. The centre is an excellent example of a successful joint venture that ensures best use of expansive school grounds for maximum benefit to the whole Bayside community. The project was undertaken in collaboration with multiple stakeholders including Bayside City Council, VSBA, Sandringham College and Southern Districts Netball Association.

The project design capitalises on the expansive site, dispersing the large building forms with the introduction of the entry COLA (covered outdoor learning area) and outdoor COLA to create a human scale rhythm across the vast street frontage.
