DELIVERING UPGRADES FOR DAREBIN FALCONS WOMEN’S SPORTS CLUB

A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will invest $700,000 to upgrade the Preston City Oval pitch and facilities, home of the Darebin Falcons Women’s Sports Club VFLW team.

Currently the club’s home pitches are not usable at night, with each pitch requiring upgrades to ensure all players can access them at all times.

This $700,000 election commitment will fix that providing upgrades to the pitches light and women friendly facilities.

Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.

Quotes attributable to Federal Member for Cooper, Ged Kearney:

“Women deserve to feel safe when playing footy, or any sport at that matter. I’m proud the Albanese Labor Government is making this election commitment to make Cooper more inclusive.

“This election commitment will support the Darebin Falcons and help create a VFL hub with the Preston Bullants right in the heart of Preston.”
