The Nationals Member for Gippsland Darren Chester is helping Morwell Croquet Club secure funding for much-needed upgrades.<\/p>\n
Mr Chester is backing plans for a $100,000 upgrade to the croquet club to complement other works underway at the Morwell Recreation Reserve.<\/p>\n
Mr Chester has announced $5 million from the Federal Government for the Morwell Recreation Reserve, targeting the netball courts and shared netball and cricket pavilion.<\/p>\n
He said Morwell Croquet Club members wanted their facilities upgraded as part of the multi-million investment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Morwell Croquet Club has been operating for nearly 90 years and current facilities are significantly outdated and don\u2019t meet the needs of members,\u201d Mr Chester said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe club hosts a number of key events each year which bring people into the town and supports a range of other local clubs and services, including Headway and Kurnai College.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m supporting the club\u2019s plans for an expansion and I\u2019ve had productive discussions with Latrobe City Council on ways to improve the current facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morwell Croquet Club President George Harris said Morwell Croquet Club was well used throughout the entire year.<\/p>\n
\u201cNew facilities would help us to attract new members and more volunteers and cater for disabled members who come to our club,\u201d Mr Harris said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are looking for funding for an all abilities uni-sex toilet, seating, replacement of the boundary fence on the western end, replacement of shelters and a new sealed car park.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
