Kicking goals and hitting boundaries, City Brothers Football Club and Mackay Cricket Club are in line for a $500,000 funding boost. The pledge, announced by Federal Member for Dawson Andrew Willcox last Monday, will see an elected Liberal National Government invest in facility upgrades to create a safer and more inclusive environment for players.
“This local club is a breeding ground for the next generation of professional players and has a long list of talented competitors in its membership,” said Mr Willcox.
“Currently the majority of games are played during the day in heat, due to poor field lighting.
“I am pleased to announce an elected Dutton Liberal National Government will commit $500,000 towards the upgrade of new field lighting, which will help the club members extend their hours of playing, and a new ticket booth at the front entrance.
“This upgrade will enhance the facilities, help attract new members, and lessen the need to fundraise for capital works at a time when families are doing it tough.
“The LNP is committed to supporting small regional clubs like the Mackay City Football Club to ensure they can continue to serve the community long into the future.”
Steve Calicetto, President of the Mackay City Football Club, said, “Upgrading these lights has been a top priority for the past several years.
“It will provide a huge boost to club morale and encourage greater participation.”
