Mount Waverley Reserve Master Plan Funding
LOCAL WIN!
Hundreds of local residents and members of the Mount Waverley Blues Football Netball Club and Mount Waverley Cricket Club signed my petition calling on the Victorian Government to commit funding to help deliver the Mount Waverley Reserve master plan.
I am thrilled to announce that the Andrews Labor Government has committed $2 million towards upgrading the reserve’s oval and pavilion.
As your voice in the State Government and your Local State Labor Member, I’ve been proud to deliver for local community sport clubs.
The Mount Waverley Reserve master plan, funded as part of the 2019 Victorian Budget and since completed by The City of Monash, outlines a plan for future upgrades and improvements of this facility aimed at supporting and increasing sport, recreation and physical activity within our community. This is an opportunity for partnership with all levels of government, local stakeholders and the community to work towards this shared vision, delivering collaboratively for our community.
Earlier this year, I met with the Minister for Community Sport and spoke in Parliament about the benefit these upgrades could bring to our local sporting clubs.
Thanks to your support, we were about to secure a win for the Mount Waverley Reserve. In the 2022/23 State Budget, the Andrews Labor Government committed $2 million towards upgrading the Reserve’s oval and pavilion.
