Liberals commit $3 million to sporting upgrades on the coast
An elected Dutton Liberal Government has committed to major upgrades at Watanobbi Oval as well as Don Small Oval in Tacoma.
The Liberals will commit $2 million to Watanobbi Oval - home of the Wyong Wildcats Baseball Club – which will see the clubroom and amenities building upgraded as well as the redevelopment of the main field, with improved lighting, fencing and drainage.
The Liberals will also commit $1 million to Don Small Oval – home of the Wyong Lakes ‘Magpies’ Australian Football Club – to construct change facilities and amenities for women and girls.
Brendan Small, Liberal candidate for Dobell, said he has heard first-hand from players and volunteers that both ovals are in desperate need of an upgrade.
“Watanobbi Oval is long overdue for an upgrade to ensure the Wildcats have access to facilities comparable with those at other ovals on the Coast,” said Mr Small.
“With two summer teams and two winter teams, upgrading Watanobbi Oval will bring a year-round benefit to local baseball players and supporters.”
“I’m proud to be committing funding to build women’s change facilities and amenities at Don Small Oval – something which is already long overdue.”
“This will promote local participation in footy and cricket, among women and girls, and ensure that anyone can play the sport they love and change with privacy and in safety.”
This commitment is part of the Liberals plan to get Australia back on track. To read more about our plan, visit nswliberal.org.au/our-plan
