North Park's new building will now be named North Park Community Sports Centre.

Over 200 people voted on the three names which Northern Grampians Shire Council put out for community consultation.

The multipurpose facility project was funded by the state and federal governments, Council and CKS Swifts Football Netball Club and was officially opened by Federal Member for Mallee, Dr Anne Webster MP with the Mayor Cr Emerson on 1 May 2021.

Council is required to submit the proposal to the Registrar of Geographic Place Names to determine whether or not to gazette and register or record the name in VICNAMES. Council has to determine that the proposed name conforms with naming principles and statutory requirements applied to features, must follow set processes for naming features and consult with the community.
