Helping more Australians be more active, more often

THE announcement of $500,000 to go into local sporting infrastructure was announced last week, as part of the second $30M round of the Liberal and Nationals Government’s Community Sport Infrastructure Program.

As outlined in the National Sports Plan, Sport 2030, grassroots sports help drive increased participation and promote social, health and community benefits of physical activity and sport; a key priority for our government.

Federal Member for Murray, Damian Drum said sport played an important role across the Goulburn Valley and the surrounding areas and the benefits of the Liberal and Nationals Government investment in the facilities will be felt right across the community.

“Sport 2030 recognises sport plays a significant role in Australia, from our biggest cities, to regional communities like ours here in Murray.

“As I move around the electorate it is heartening to witness the growth in sporting participation across all ages. The value of team sport, physical fitness is matched only by the wonderful volunteering and engagement these activities bring to our community.

“This funding will ensure that the high level of year round participation can be enjoyed for so many local residents and competitors from nearby clubs and as The Federal Representative for Murray I am very proud to be able to deliver on important projects like these.”
