Monbulk Pavillion 500K promise from Liberals
NAPTHINE LIBERALS COMMIT $500,000 FOR
MONBULK RESERVE
Liberal candidate for Monbulk Mark Verschuur, today announced that a re-elected Napthine Government will deliver $500,000 towards a new community sports pavilion at Monbulk Reserve.
Mr Verschuur said the funding commitment would deliver a much-needed facility that would cater for the local football, netball and cricket clubs as well as school groups and the wider community.
"I’m a proud supporter of local sporting clubs and I’m delighted to have been able to deliver this much needed funding commitment for the hundreds of members of local clubs, user groups and the wider sporting community," Mr Verschuur said.
"Investing in our local sporting facilities is crucial, because it means we are investing in the futures of our young people. It is important that local youths have best possible local facilities available to them, encouraging them to pursue activities that build skills like leadership, teamwork and resilience.
"Not only do our local football, netball and cricket clubs encourage young people to be active and healthy, they help build stronger and more engaged communities.
"As part of Premier Denis Napthine’s team, I’ve been working with supporters, as well as committee members, to make this project a reality."
This funding announcement for Monbulk Community Sports Pavilion follows the $500,000 commitment towards the Upwey-Tecoma Community Recreation and Sporting Hub, announced by Premier Denis Napthine last week.
The Member for Eastern Victoria Region, Edward O’Donohue, joined Mr Verschuur to make the announcement.
"Mark’s commitment to fighting for Monbulk has paid off for the community and I am thrilled to be here today for this fantastic announcement," Mr O’Donohue said.
Paul Utting, President of the Monbulk Recreation Reserve Development Group, welcomed the announcement and said the funding would go a long way to transforming the old facilities.
"It’s especially important to our female participants, because currently there are no female change rooms," Mr Utting said.
"This funding would give us the opportunity to open up the reserve and make it a more inviting place for the wider community."
"Monbulk pavilion gets state funding from the Liberal Government" This is a very deceptive headline.
ReplyDeleteBut the pavilion has not GOT state funding; it will only get this funding if a particular party is re-elected. Thus what you are talking about is not something that has happened, but only a campaign promise, and we all know what can happen to them. This is a very deceptive way of describing this situation.
Cr Callanan, elsewhere on you blog you have said you favour no political party. The evidence of this BlogSpot - and its spruiking of a campaign promise by one particular party suggests this sadly is a load of cobblers.
A change of headline! And what happened to "awesomeness"? And the five exclamation marks!
ReplyDeleteBut great to see such responsiveness from the good councillor. How about a bit of responsiveness now on the Olinda Pool?
