Sharon Arnold was more than just a name in the Kilsyth community; she was an institution, a mentor, and a friend. For over three decades, she served as a respected basketball referee, advisor and a familiar face at the Kilsyth Basketball Stadium until her untimely passing on April 3, 2024. Her passion for the game and commitment to nurturing talent has left an indelible mark on countless lives.

It is only fitting that we honour her legacy in a way that reflects her immense contribution to our community. We propose renaming the Kilsyth Basketball Stadium to the Sharon Arnold Memorial Centre. This change would not only pay tribute to Sharon's memory but also serve as a constant reminder of her dedication and love for basketball.

In Australia alone, there are numerous examples of sports facilities being renamed after influential figures in recognition of their contributions (source: Australian Bureau of Statistics). This proposal aligns with this tradition and offers an opportunity for our community in Kilsyth VIC, Australia to express our gratitude towards one of our own.
