Sports clubs in Epping and Lalor will share in $400,000 from the state government to help upgrade their grounds.
Last week, Community Sport Minister Ros Spence announced the government will grant Lalor United Sloga FC with $300,000 to enable the club to upgrade the lighting at its home ground at HR Uren Recreation Reserve in Lalor.
Epping Cricket Club/Epping Football Club will receive $50,000 towards the installation of scoreboards at Epping Reserve oval number two, Ms Spence said,
Whittlesea United will also receive $50,000 towards the installation of scoreboards, this time at Mosaic Drive in Lalor.
“We’re investing in upgrades to community sport and recreation to help create local jobs and ensure more Victorians can enjoy the sports that they love,” Ms Spence said.
Thomastown MP Bronwyn Halfpenny described the funding injection as a “great win for families” in the electorate.
