Coalition commits to delivering improved facilities for Berkeley Vale rugby league
An elected Dutton Coalition Government has committed to delivering $544,000 to upgrade the home of the Berkeley Vale Panthers.
Brendan Small, Liberal Candidate for Dobell, said the Berkeley Vale Rugby League & Sports Club is an important community hub, but its facilities need an upgrade.
“Berkeley Vale is a fantastic community Club with an impressive following, locally, and it’s time to give the Club the facilities they deserve,” said Mr Small.
“The investment will ensure female Club members have a much safer experience with a new female changing room, including shower cubicles, and new facilities for both female players and spectators.
"I’ve spoken to countless people in the community who have asked for this investment and I would like to thank them for their help in delivering this commitment,” said Mr Small.
Shadow Minister for Sport, Senator Anne Ruston said that the Liberals are focused on ensuring communities have access to the sporting facilities they need to open up more opportunities for Australians to participate in physical activity.
“Part of getting Australia back on track is ensuring we invest in community sporting infrastructure like Berkeley Vale Rugby League & Sports Club,” said Senator Ruston.
“We want to boost participation in grassroots sport and encourage more Australians, particularly women and girls, to get out there and get active – because we know it has so many physical and wellbeing benefits. “I’m grateful to Brendan for flagging the need to refresh the home of the Berkeley Vale Panthers to help female players, members, and supporters feel safer.
“This investment can only be delivered by a Liberal Government, because our strong track record on the economy will allow us to lower inflation and invest in important local projects.”
