- Brunswick women to benefit from better sporting facilities
- $60,000 from Victorian Government to help refurbish Sumner park pavilion
Brunswick women, girls and their familes will have more opportunities to get physically active thanks to $60,000 in Victorian Government funding to upgrade the Sumner Park pavilion in Brunswick East.
The Sumner Park pavilion, used by women and girls teams at the Brunswick Zebras, would be upgraded thanks to Moreland City Council receiving a grant through the Community Facility Funding Program – Minor Facilities Category.
The funding would refurbish a multipurpose community sporting facility including better access, change rooms, amenities and a new referees change space. In particular the pavilion refurbishment will provide better facilities for female players and supporters.
As a soccer dad whose daughter plays the Zebras U13s team I know it is in desperate need of an upgrade.
We want to make it easier for the community to stay involved in the sports and activities they love, and to lead healthy and active lifestyles.
The project was one of 69 projects to share in more than $3.4 million in funding under the 2009-2010 round of the Community Facility Funding Program – Minor Facilities Category. Since 2000, the Victorian Government has invested over $186 million through the Community Facility Funding Program towards more than 1950 community facility projects.
