GREATER Shepparton sports clubs will soon be enjoying modern sports facilities thanks to a funding boost from State Government.
Member for Northern Victoria, Mark Gepp announced last month that Greater Shepparton City Council is among the many grant recipients in the new round of the State Government’s $180M Community Sports Infrastructure Fund.
Greater Shepparton will receive $250,000 for Princess Park Lighting Upgrade including the installation of new sports floodlights for John Riordan Oval to provide opportunities for night football to be played at Princess Park and $250,000 for Active, Play and Skate Youth SPOTS which will see 12 innovative active youth SPOT modules constructed in seven small towns to provide young people with play, skate and active spaces.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said, “This funding will go a long way to supporting the growing number of people our region.
“This will benefit all users of the recreation reserve and include a significant power consolidation to enable the new 200 LUX Sports Floodlighting.”
