of Crown land reservations. Another issue was raised after concerns over the effects of the exterior lights on the surround areas, including the nearby Melbourne Zoo. In March 2019 the centre began undergoing a $64.6 million redevelopment announced earlier by the Victorian Government. The redevelopment replaced the outdoor netball courts with six indoor courts, created an indoor hockey facility, a high-performance gymnasium and the Sports House 2 building, which provides administrative offices for Netball Victoria and Hockey Victoria. The redevelopment concluded in mid-2021. Facilities The centre has eleven indoor netball courts including two in the main stadium, known as Parkville Arena. The arena has permanent seating on three sides of the courts and retractable seating can be used (covering the second court) to increase the capacity to 3,050. The secondary hall can be configured for 250 spectators. When the main stadium is configured for basketball it has a capacity of 3,500. The netball courts can be transformed to cater for basketball, volleyball, martial arts, concerts, indoor soccer and other indoor sports. The centre has two hockey pitches with a grandstand situated between them, providing seating for 1,000 spectators undercover on the main pitch and seating for 250 spectators on the second pitch. The main pitch is surrounded by grassed seating areas which can accommodate temporary seating for up to 8,000 spectators, as has been utilised for past events such as the 2006 Commonwealth Games. The hockey pitches can be transformed to cater for lacrosse, gridiron, soccer, touch football and other outdoor sports. Netball This arena has been used for netball since its opening. It has hosted Victorian Netball League, Australian Netball League, Commonwealth Bank Trophy and ANZ Championship matches. Past tenants have included Melbourne Phoenix and Melbourne Vixens. The Vixens used the arena throughout 2008 to 2011 and also used it for home finals in 2013 and 2019, on both occasions because their usual venues were unavailable. Victorian Fury play the majority of their home ANL at SNHC. Basketball In past National Basketball League seasons, the facility was occasionally used by Melbourne United (formerly the Melbourne Tigers) and was nicknamed 'The Cage'. The club made the centre their home in 2002 due to financial trouble and the high costs of hiring their previous home, Vodafone Arena (Now John Cain Arena). Over time, the club gradually moved all of their matches to the larger capacity Melbourne Arena located near the city.
