Liberals commit $3.5M for sport across the Coast
A Dutton Liberal Government will commit $3.5 million to deliver upgrades to grassroots sporting facilities across the Central Coast, according to Liberal candidate for Robertson Ms Lucy Wicks.
These commitments include upgrades which would improve access, safety and participation at sporting facilities across East Gosford, Erina and Kincumber, she said.
with $1.8 million to redevelop amenities at Hylton Moore Oval 7 in East Gosford including women's changerooms, a canteen with dual storage, a small clubroom, accessible amenities and storage for summer and winter sports.
$1.2 million to redevelop amenities at Erina Oval including women's changerooms, a canteen with dual storage, a small clubroom, accessible amenities and storage for summer and winter sports.
$500,000 at Patrick Croke Oval in Kincumber to deliver two change rooms and accessible amenities.
Liberal candidate for Robertson, Lucy Wicks, said these commitments were "an investment in the ability of our young people to play the sports they love on the Central Coast".
"Our kids deserve access to facilities comparable to those available in Sydney and other regions in New South Wales, and these commitments will deliver that," Ms Wicks said.
"Some of our local sporting facilities have not been able to accommodate the growth in participation in local sport on the Coast, particularly amongst young women and girls.
"Our sporting stars of the future rightly expect that they can change in privacy and have access to high-quality amenities, regardless of their age or ability.
"When we have high levels of participation in local sport, our community is not only healthier, but we become more connected and stronger, as a region.
"These commitments are part of the Liberals' plan to get Australia back on track."
She said the plan was available at nswliberal.org.au/our-plan.
