Posted on Monday 1st of October, 2018,

Greater Shepparton sports clubs will soon be enjoying modern sports facilities thanks to a funding boost from State Government.

Member for Northern Victoria, Mark Gepp announced last month that Greater Shepparton City Council is among the many grant recipients in the new round of the State Government’s $180 million Community Sports Infrastructure Fund.

Greater Shepparton will receive funding for the following projects:

$250,000 for Princess Park Lighting Upgrade – installation of news sports floodlights for John Riordan Oval to provide opportunities for night football to be played at Princess Park
$250,000 for Active, Play and Skate Youth SPOTS – 12 innovative active youth SPOT modules will be constructed in seven small towns to provide young people with play, skate and active spaces

Greater Shepparton Mayor Kim O’Keeffe said “This funding will go a long way to supporting the growing number of people our region. This will benefit all users of the recreation reserve and include a significant power consolidation to enable the new 200 LUX Sports Floodlighting.”
