Werribee’s Galvin Park Sexton Pavilion will be redeveloped if the Labor Party is elected at this year’s federal election.
Lalor MP Joanne Ryan announced on Saturday that her party would commit $500,000 to the redevelopment of the pavilion if it was elected.
Working alongside the Werribee Centrals sporting clubs, youth club and Wyndham council, Ms Ryan said they would deliver the full plans the club has developed.
“The Galvin Park complex is at the heart of the Werribee Community. This commitment is an investment in the club, an investment in the local community and investment in a better future for Lalor,” she said.
Upgrades would include replacing the old change-rooms with new facilities, and the construction of umpires rooms, medical resources and committee meeting spaces.
The redevelopment will also include a secondary storey to the existing complex, available for community and social use, with kitchen and toilet amenities.
Werribee Centrals Football Netball Club president Chris Kopelke said the plans were eight years in the making and will give the community of Werribee a facility to meet their ongoing needs.
“This announcement of funding means the difference between having the new facilities built in the immediate future and bringing them into the 21st century or being delayed due to funding constraints with our club contribution,” he said.
