A Minns Labor Government has allocated up to $400,000 to improve community sports amenities across the Shellharbour electorate.
"Our fast-growing region has fallen behind when it comes to state funding for community sporting facilities," Anna Watson, Member for Shellharbour, said.
"There is more work to do before our fields and amenities are up to a reasonable standard, especially for female participants, and I will continue to fight for our fair share of funding for community sport infrastructure."
There are four council-owned community sporting grounds that will benefit from the funding. If elected on March 25, NSW Labor will deliver:
- Up to $200,000 for changeroom and amenity upgrades at Reed Park in Horsley (Wollongong City Council), home ground to the likes of Dapto Junior Rugby League and Dapto Canaries Cricket;
- Up to $100,000 for a picket-style perimeter fence at Howard Fowles Oval in Lake Illawarra (Shellharbour City Council), homeground of the Lake Illawarra Cricket Club;
- Up to $50,000 for amenity upgrades at King Mickey Park in Warilla (Shellharbour City Council), homeground of the Warilla Wanderers Football Club;
- Up to $50,000 for lighting upgrades at Barrack Heights Sports Field (Shellharbour City Council), home ground of the Shellharbour Football Club.
