The redevelopment of Werribee’s Galvin Park sporting pavilion is underway, after the first sod was turned yesterday.
Federal, state and local government representatives were on hand for the ceremony at the site of the new pavilion which will accommodate local cricket, football and netball clubs.
The upgraded two-storey pavilion will feature accessible spaces including female friendly change rooms, a community room, kitchenette, shower rooms and umpire change rooms.
The pavilion is located near the Galvin Park Soccer Reserve which was recently upgraded in order to host the Moroccan team during the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The new pavilion has received $3 million in funding from the state government and $1.6 million from Wyndham council.
Victorian Treasurer and Werribee MP, Tim Pallas, participated in the sod turning yesterday and said the redeveloped pavilion will be a an asset for the Wyndham community.
“These upgrades will ensure that the local community is supported with a high quality space that provides a new avenue for physical activity particularly with girls and women’s sport participation,” Mr Pallas said.
“From cricket to netball, sport is at the heart of so many of our communities and this redevelopment will go above and beyond to help our community stay active and achieve their goals.”
