Money for sports facilities

Woy Woy and Woy Woy South public schools have received State Government funding as part of a two-year initiative to upgrade NSW school sports facilities.

Woy Woy Public School will have its two cricket nets replaced while Woy Woy South Public School will be provided with a rubberised surface for its sports area.

Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews said the two Peninsula primary schools joined three other local schools in gaining financial support under the Premier's Sporting Challenge $20 million initiative.

"This money is targeting sports facilities that require upgrading and the funds will allow schools to resurface sporting amenities such as basketball and tennis courts, repair existing facilities like cricket nets and netball posts and upgrade sporting fields."
