Tomorrow’s local cricket stars will soon be enjoying better facilities at Olivine Reserve following a state government funding boost.
Yan Yean MP Danielle Green said the government would allocate $100,000 from its Community Cricket Program – Cricket Facilities stream to upgrade facilities at Olivine Reserve.
The funding will enable Whittlesea council to partner with developer Mirvac to construct a new three-lane cricket training net facility, built to Cricket Victoria infrastructure guidelines, to meet the sporting needs for a rapidly growing population.
“We’re getting on with the job of creating better facilities for our next generation, so they can emulate their sporting heroes like the Australian women’s cricket team who, in 2020, won the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Final on home soil,” Ms Green said.
“This funding will inspire even more local boys, girls, men and women to get active and enjoy the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle.”
