Cobblebank Stadium, Melton

Cobblebank Stadium is on Stadium Drive, Cobblebank 3338, and Melton Basketball gives its address as 1 Stadium Drive. It's a six court indoor stadium built by Melton City Council, with a show court, a kiosk, a commercial cafe, car parking and electric vehicle charging. It's home to the Melton Basketball Association.

Getting the address right

Cobblebank is a new suburb and the stadium is a new building, which means the address appears in more than one form depending on where you look. Melton City Council's stadium page gives Stadium Drive, Cobblebank 3338. Melton Basketball gives 1 Stadium Drive, Cobblebank. The council's own community directory lists the venue at 206 Ferris Road, Cobblebank 3338, and Basketball Victoria has described it as being on the corner of Ferris and Bridge Roads.

They all point at the same building. If your maps app doesn't recognise Stadium Drive, try Ferris Road, Cobblebank, and look for the large stadium on the corner.

In a growth area suburb like this, mapping data lags behind the roads. Do the navigation check the night before rather than in the car at 8am on a Saturday.

What the stadium has

Melton City Council built Cobblebank as a six court stadium, and it was the council's highest value project to date at 31 million dollars. The build includes six indoor high ball courts, one of which is a show court with seating, player, referee and public amenities, an administration and reception area, flexible meeting and social spaces, a kiosk, seating areas and car parking.

The council also describes a large foyer with a table and seating area alongside a commercial cafe, which in practice is where parents end up between games.

It's a genuinely modern building. It was designed for natural light and low energy use, it has solar panels, and in the car park there's an electric vehicle charging station and a bicycle repair station where you can pump up a tyre or tighten a brake.

Who plays here

The Melton Basketball Association is based at the stadium. Melton City Council describes the association as having more than 2,200 registered members, with over 4,500 people coming through the doors across seven days a week, all year round, and participants aged from four to sixty five.

The association runs everything from Ford Aussie Hoops programs for beginners through to junior and senior domestic competitions. The representative teams are the Melton Thoroughbreds, and the stadium is their home.

The building is shared with other sports. Council lists basketball, netball, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, pickleball and futsal using the courts, along with schools and community health and wellbeing programs, so a Saturday morning may have more than basketball in the room.

Parking, hours and casual use

Car parking is part of the build, and unlike most inner suburban stadiums it was designed in rather than squeezed in afterwards. Electric vehicle charging is available in the car park.

Published hours are 9am to 11pm Monday to Saturday and 9am to 10pm Sunday, with reception staffed 8:30am to 5pm Monday to Friday. As always, your game time comes from the fixture, not from the building hours.

Casual play is available and cheap. Council lists 3.50 dollars per person per hour for ages twelve and over, or 7 dollars for a three hour session, and notes that children under eleven need adult supervision. Casual times are released each week on the stadium's social media rather than published as a fixed timetable, so check before you drive over.

What it is like for a first time family

Melton's west has grown fast and the basketball has grown with it. This is a new building with a community that's still filling it, which tends to make it a friendly place to start. Staff are used to families who have never done junior sport before.

Six courts is a moderate room. There's enough noise to feel like a real competition and not so much that a seven year old freezes at the door. The show court with seating is a nice touch for the days when your child's game lands on it.

The foyer and cafe area is the best thing about the building from a parent's point of view. If you've two children playing three hours apart, you've somewhere civilised to sit, which is more than most stadiums offer.

Practical notes

Allow for the roadworks and new road openings that come with a growth corridor. Routes change out here, and a way in that worked last season may not be the fastest one now, so check the route rather than driving on memory.

The stadium is the only basketball venue of its size in the immediate area, which is a real advantage compared with associations that split a Saturday across five school halls. One address, one car park, one building.

If you're registering a child for the first time, start with the association rather than the stadium. The stadium manages the building and the bookings, the association manages the competition, the grading and the clubs.
