Prison sheds a step forward

Sheds donated by Corrections Victoria from Dhurringile Prison will provide the Murchison-Toolamba Football Netball Club with additional storage and junior change facilities. However, Member for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell stressed that the club still urgently needs government support for new clubrooms.

Minister for Corrections Enver Erdogan confirmed that some relocatable buildings would be transferred from the prison, but the large shed the club sought was not included.

Murchison-Toolamba FNC President Simon Robinson expressed gratitude for the support, emphasising the need for modern, safer facilities for the club’s growing community.

Member for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell said, “The donated sheds are a good start but so much more is needed, and I will continue advocating for The Hoppers until they have facilities that club members can be proud of.”
