Shoreline Sports Floors, based at Somersby, designed and delivered the courts for the recent Netball World Cup at Sydney Olympic Park.
“I rise to join the chorus of congratulations for our Aussie Diamonds Netball Team, who were triumphant winners over New Zealand at the World Cup Final,” member for Robertson, Ms Lucy Wicks MP said in Parliament last week.
“It’s the third straight World Cup crown for the Diamonds and 11th overall – what an achievement,” Ms Wicks said.
“I know the stars of the Australian team are a real inspiration to the hundreds of netballers who hit the courts each weekend on the Central Coast and I’m sure some of them would have been among the sell-out home crowd.
“But this isn’t the only link that the Central Coast has with the Netball World Cup. “The court surface was designed and developed in Somersby, in my electorate, by Shoreline Sports Floors. “I went to visit Troy and Kylie Marquart and their team last week, and saw first-hand how the specialised spring timber floor systems work.
“They delivered two of these high quality courts for the tournament, including a portable timber floor, and while I won’t profess to be an expert on exactly how they work, they looked fantastic.
“In another great achievement for this small business in my electorate, they also have secured a contract for the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.
“This success is also a win for the local area as Shoreline will need to employ more Central Coast locals to complete these works.
“It’s a positive story from our region to cap off what’s an outstanding achievement from the Diamonds.”
