ROMSEY Park’s second oval will be the beneficiary of additional funding to help it towards a major redevelopment in the near future, thanks to the success of the Macedon Ranges Shire Council in securing grant funding.
Romsey Oval 2 will receive $40,000 towards detailed planning of a major redevelopment—an essential first step to later seek construction funding. This includes planning for an upgrade on the turf playing surface, improving drainage and irrigation systems, and installing LED lighting.
In addition, Dixon Field in Gisborne will also receive funding from the Council.
Mayor Dom Bonanno welcomed the announcement and praised the benefits that the upgrades will bring to the shire.
“Sport is at the heart of our communities, and these upgrades will support the growing townships of Gisborne and Romsey with facilities they need, for more users to play the games they love,” he said.
“We thank all involved for their support and recognition in supporting these much-needed upgrades, which Council will also be contributing funding towards to make them a reality.”
