Modewarre Cricket Club president Ash Field, Modewarre Football/Netball Club chairman Steve McGarrigle, Andrew Katos, Surf Coast Shire mayor Libby Coker, Hugh Delahunty, Member for Western Victoria Simon Ramsay and Ali Salmon from the Mount Moriac Tennis Club at Mount Moriac Reserve.
Mount Moriac Reserve will get new netball and tennis courts and a better sports pavilion through a $1.35 million upgrade.
Surf Coast Shire, the state government and two local sports clubs are all contributing money towards the project, which was announced recently. The new pavilion will feature more accessible facilities, including improved change rooms and a flexible layout with more functional community spaces. The project will also create a third netball court, two tennis courts and a new play space.
The shire and the state government are each putting in $650,000, while reserve tenants Modewarre Football/Netball Club and Modewarre Cricket Club are adding $25,000 each. South Barwon MP Andrew Katos thanked the shire and the two sports clubs for providing funding towards the upgrade.
Minister for Sport and Recreation Hugh Delahunty said Modewarre?s football, netball, cricket and tennis clubs were made up of male and female teams but the existing pavilion was ill-equipped to cater for all users. He said a key objective of the Coalition government was to build healthy and active communities.
?To achieve this goal, we need quality community facilities that encourage local people to play the sports they love for many years to come. Our investment in this project is part of our plan to build more sustainable local venues that make a difference to local people.
?Sporting facilities are important community assets and provide a social hub, particularly in regional areas. As well as the health benefits, we are also helping to stimulate the local economy and create jobs throughout the construction phase.?
The state government funding comprises $350,000 from the Community Facility Funding Program and $300,000 from the Regional Growth Fund?s Putting Locals First Program.
