Detailed planning is underway on the upgrades to Morwell Recreation Reserve.<\/p>\n
The Nationals Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said the local sporting community was eager to see progress made, after the Australian and Victorian governments allocated funding for more than $9 million worth of improvements.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Morwell Recreation Reserve upgrades will deliver first-class standards for hundreds of locals who play football, netball, cricket and croquet in Morwell,\u201d Mr Chester said.<\/p>\n
\u201cRepresentatives from the Morwell Football Netball Club and Morwell Cricket Club have been working with council to fine-tune the designs for the upgrade of the netball courts and shared pavilion.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe council has advised me it is aiming to have the courts ready for the 2018 season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Concept designs have been developed and will soon be sent to tender for construction.<\/p>\n
The Federal Government has contributed $5 million to the Morwell Recreation Reserve upgrades, which will also include an upgrade of the Keegan Street Reserve cricket field, the new sports pavilion, and multi-use synthetic playing surface.<\/p>\n
Mr Chester said the recreation reserve upgrade was among a series of significant Federal Government infrastructure investments in Latrobe City.<\/p>\n
\u201cLatrobe City is a great place to live, work and raise a family,\u201d Mr Chester said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to ensure our infrastructure keeps up with modern standards so we can continue to attract more people to grassroots sport and stay engaged with their local community.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Federal Government is also investing in the Traralgon-Morwell Shared Pathway, which is under construction, and the Latrobe Creative Precinct in Traralgon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
