STRONGER COUNTRY COMMUNITIES FUND ANNOUNCEMENT


It is absolutely fantastic to see that four projects across Wagga Wagga will share in over $1.1 million thanks to the Stronger Country Communities Fund (SCCF).

I welcome the announcement, which includes:

  • $189,220 to upgrade visitors change rooms and female facilities/clubrooms at

the MCUE Football and Netball Club to make the facility fit for purpose to host

women AFL and tennis players, umpires and volunteers.

  • $250,000 to install play equipment with rubberised soft fall and shade sails at

Estella Public School. The playground will include equipment for different age

groups to cover all students K-6 and will provide physical, social, cognitive and

emotional benefits for children.

  • $365,171 to install a six pole 200 lux LED lighting system that will meet both

the training and match day requirements at McPherson Oval.

  • $336,927 to replace the existing amenities building at Kessler Park with a new

fit for purpose building to include female friendly change rooms, referees

room, canteen, male, female & accessible toilets, swipe card access control

and CCTV.

After almost two years of COVID-19, I look forward to these funds being a boost to

the community organisations and their members and participants who have received

them.
