REVEALED: The Perth suburb set for new basketball courts
It's game on for outdoor basketball lovers as the City of Joondalup will once again consider new outdoor basketball facilities. At Tuesday's council meeting, the council voted to consider the installation of new outdoor basketball facilities as part of its upcoming annual budget process. Council also voted to ensure that the City gives due regard to the impact of noise from the outdoor basketball facility on nearby residents, by noting that any new outdoor basketball facility would still need to comply with the requirements of the Environment Protection (Noise) Regulations act, which any outdoor basketball facilities in WA must comply with. Your local paper, whenever you want it. They noted that clear State Government guidelines around the provision of outdoor basketball facilities were unlikely to proceed, which had caused years of uncertainty around outdoor basketball facilities. The city has faced challenges over installing basketball courts since 2021 from noise complaints and uncertainty surrounding the status of State-level policies.

In 2019, the council received a petition with 165 signatures requesting a basketball pad as part of the Braden Park playground renewal, with construction scheduled for 2021. Seventy-nine per cent of surveyed residents supported the installation. However, the city later received a second petition with 68 signatures calling for the removal of the basketball pad and four-square court. Despite 77.2 per cent of surveyed residents living within 200 metres opposing its removal, the basketball pad was removed in early 2022 just five months after it was installed. Calls to have the basketball pad reinstalled just weeks later prompted the city to review its policies, which ultimately decided that any action should be delayed until expected guidelines from the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation were released. However, the draft guidelines on noise from outdoor community basketball facilities were withdrawn by DWER in February 2023, leaving local governments to continue managing existing facilities. Currently, the city has basketball facilities at 47 of its public open spaces, ranging from full courts to three-on-three pads and one-on-one pads. 'Outdoor recreational basketball facilities provide health and wellbeing benefits to the community and have proved to be very popular with people of all ages and abilities,' a report said. 'It, however, unfortunately can also be polarising within a community, and as such the provision of these facilities should be considered carefully on a case-by-case basis.' Despite noise concerns plaguing certain locations, the city does not believe it to be a widespread issue. There are 17 pads less than 50 metres from homes. The closest is at Chadstone Park in Craigie, where a one-on-one pad sits just 21 metres from the nearest residence. Falkland Park in Kinross, at 147 metres, is the furthest. 'Undesirable noise associated with basketball play does not appear to be an issue at most of these locations as the city has, over the years, received complaints from a small number of nearby residents at only a couple of locations,' city officers said. 'Where a complaint has been received, the city has investigated the matters raised and taken the most appropriate action depending on the specific circumstances.' Measures taken to address concerns include noise monitoring, backboard modifications, time restrictions, education, and CCTV surveillance. It remains unclear if the basketball pad at Braden Park in Marmion will be reinstated.

Where Clemson lands in Spring ACC Football strength of schedule rankings

Dabo Swinney raves about spring football standout wide receiver Tyler Brown
Dabo Swinney raves about spring football standout wide receiver Tyler Brown Tyler Brown has caught Dabo Swinney's attention this spring, and in the best way possible. Clemson's head coach called Brown the receiver he is 'most proud of' following Wednesday's scrimmage at Memorial Stadium. After a breakout freshman season in 2023, Brown's sophomore year was cut short by an ankle injury that required surgery. He played in just four regular season games and two postseason contests in 2024, preserving a redshirt. Now fully healthy, Brown has been a standout during spring practice. 'The guy that I'm probably most proud of is Tyler Brown,' Swinney said. 'It's been great to see him have the type of spring that he's had.' Brown was injured in Clemson's second game last season against Appalachian State and didn't return until the ACC Championship Game against SMU. He played limited snaps in the postseason, including a brief appearance in the College Football Playoff loss to Texas. Over six games, he caught five passes for 30 yards. This spring, however, Brown has looked like his old self. Swinney pointed to a 'pretty special' performance in Monday's practice, where Brown made multiple big-time plays in competitive situations. 'His confidence is really getting back where it was,' Swinney said. 'But he's just got a lot of experience now, and much more maturity to go with it.' A former standout at Greenville High School, Brown emerged as a key playmaker in 2023, leading Clemson in receptions (52) and receiving yards (531) while hauling in four touchdowns. He became just the fifth Clemson freshman since 2010 to record 50 catches in a season, joining the likes of Antonio Williams, Artavis Scott, Sammy Watkins, and DeAndre Hopkins. Now back to full strength, Brown appears poised to reclaim a major role in Clemson's offense heading into the 2025 season.
