State-of-the-art indoor cricket centre open in Greenvale

Published on 20 February 2025

Hume City Council has invested in local cricket and community connection with the opening of the new Hume Indoor Cricket Centre in early February. 

Cricketers in Hume's west now have access to an all-weather, state-of-the-art training facility equipped to ensure they’re getting the most out of their game. 

Located at the Greenvale Recreation Reserve, the new centre includes six competition-size indoor cricket lanes surrounded by netting for safety, along with side screens and bowling machines. 

The major improvement in available facilities aims to increase participation in our national game while connecting players with more opportunities to grow in the sport. 

Doubling as a community space, the fully staffed facility also has a kitchen and cafe, amenities and meeting rooms for wider community use. 

The Hume Indoor Cricket Centre joins the State Rugby League and Community Centre,  Craigieburn Sport Stadium Redevelopment and Leo Dineen Pavilion as major community recreation facilities delivered in Hume in the last two years. 

These developments across our city support community-wide access to recreation facilities and increased opportunities and talent pathways for those that call Hume home. 

The Hume Indoor Cricket Centre is jointly funded by Hume City Council and the Victorian Labor Government under the Metropolitan Cricket and Community Centre Stream. 

Quotes attributable to Mayor of Hume City Councillor Jarrod Bell:

“This impressive new training facility will give cricketers in Hume the flexibility to increase their participation through access to elite, modern, indoor equipment, while also giving the wider community a quality space to meet and connect.”
