Ensuring our local sporting clubs have modern and inclusive facilities is vital to future growth and success.
Lismore Rugby Club operate their own fields and clubhouse, and they need an upgrade to keep up with the growth of their women’s division.
Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan has announced that an elected Coalition Government will commit $1,080,000 towards a $1.2 million upgrade of the female sporting facilities at Lismore Rugby Union Club.
“This is about making sure our female athletes have access to the same quality facilities as male teammates,” Mr Hogan said.
“The club has seen a big increase in female participation over recent years, but the current facilities are outdated and don’t meet the needs of players.”
“This funding will deliver brand new female changerooms and upgraded women’s toilets, as well as an accessible toilet and shower, an officials’ room, and refurbished bar and canteen areas.”
“It will make sure girls and women feel encouraged, supported, and proud to be part of this great local club.”
The commitment covers the majority of the $1.2 million total cost, meaning the club can focus on delivering the project with only a small co-contribution required.
