History

The Pakenham and District Basketball Association was formed in the 1960's and were firstly called West Gippsland Basketball Association. The first home was the KooWeeRup picture theatre in the main street of KooWeeRup. The undersized court was only used for a few years before we moving to the Bunyip Football Shed.

In 1974 the Association moved to the then newly built P.B. Ronald Indoor Sports Complex on the Pakenham Recreation Reserve in Henry St.

In July 1997 the Association moved to the present location on the Princes Highway in Pakenham. The stadium, with four basketball courts, was then known as the Pakenham Indoor Sports Complex (PISC).

In 2008 the courts underwent major redevelopment and is now called Cardinia Life and boasts a 25m swimming pool, gym and aerobics room as well as four new basketball courts (8 in total).

The Cardinia Shire hires the YMCA to run the facility including basketball however the basketball operates under the management of the PDBA who hold the affiliation with Basketball Victoria
