Two Maribyrnong sporting facilities partly funded as part of the West Gate Neighbourhood Fund have been opened.
McIvor Reserve in Yarraville is now home to new change rooms for the Yarraville Glory Football Club, with the club securing more than $1 million from the state government fund for the project.
The new change rooms are modern, accessible and female friendly, supporting the club’s growing membership of women and girls.
Th project also includes a new LED scoreboard, store rooms and a soon to be completed goal storage area and seating.
In Footscray, Hanmer Reserve has new multi-use cricket nets on Cowper Street to support training needs for cricket and other local clubs.
The new four lane nets provide a modern facility to help grow sports participation and were funded with $400,000 from the fund and $403,000 from Maribyrnong council.
The nets were complimented by council’s extensive works on Cowper Street, including road reconstruction, new footpaths, formalised parking and landscaping that make these nets easy for our community to access.
Council is grateful to the state government and West Gate Neighbourhood Fund for supporting the community projects and championing sport in the west.
