CSRFF APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED FOR UPCOMING SPORT AND RECREATION PROJECTS
The Shire of Waroona has set their sights on three major sport and recreation projects for the 2020/21 financial year to the value of $360,000.
These projects include the redevelopment of the Waroona Recreation and Aquatic Centre (WRAC) upper ablutions and pool concourse, installation of a new three bay cricket net training facility on the lower cricket oval and the reticulation of three fairways at the Preston Beach Golf Club.
At the ordinary council meeting on the 25th of August, council endorsed three submissions to the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries for the Small Grants round of the Community Sport and Recreation Facility Fund (CSRFF) for each of the projects.
- WRAC Redevelopment - $210,000
- Cricket Nets - $63,000
- Preston beach Golf Club Reticulation - $87,000
Council’s support for each project identifies the importance sport and recreation has within the Shire.
The redevelopment of the WRAC aquatic concourse will result in a more family orientated and modern space and is likely to attract additional users.
The new cricket nets will provide the Waroona Cricket Club with a facility that will cater for the growing number of members as well as becoming a community asset to be used by the public.
The Preston Beach Golf Club is located in one of the Shires tourist areas and provides locals and visitors with spectacular views, often accompanied by the resident kangaroos. The irrigation will transform the fairways from sand to grass, providing an attractive and unique experience.
The CSRFF successful grants are expected to be announced late October.
