UPGRADING MARIBYRNONG’S SPORTING FACILITIES

A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will put $1.55 million towards upgrading  Moonee Valley City Council recreation reserves.  

This election commitment includes $1 million to support a pavilion upgrade at Walter  Street Reserve – the home of the Ascot Vale Panthers Junior Football Club. This  funding would go towards delivering new changerooms, multipurpose spaces and an  improved building layout.  

A further $500,000 would go towards upgrades at Maribyrnong Park Pavilion  including a fully equipped commercial kitchen, a barbecue shelter, new seating and  protective structures and a first aid room. 

Another $50,000 would go towards an electronic scoreboard for junior football and  cricket clubs at Lebanon Reserve Strathmore. 

Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with  Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles. 

Quotes attributable to Jo Briskey, Labor Candidate for Maribyrnong: “This announcement will be a game changer for our local sporting clubs. 

“I’m proud to be continuing Federal Labor’s work supporting local sporting groups in  Maribyrnong.”
