Four Wyndham sporting facilities are now officially lit, with two more lighting projects

either underway or being designed.

Lighting has been installed and is now operational at Williams Landing Boulevard Reserve oval 1, Saltwater Reserve tennis courts 5-8 in Point Cook, and Price

Reserve in Werribee South.

The new lights will allow tenant clubs, including Williams Landing

Soccer Club, tennis academy DNTA, and Werribee Districts Football Club, to grow their membership base and train or play after dark.

Meanwhile, work on an LED lighting upgrade at Galvin Park Oval 1 in Werribee is

also complete.

The new lights at Williams Landing Reserve, home to the Williams Landing Football Club, were jointly funded by Wyndham council and the state government and will ensure that the venue meets Football Victoria’s competition standards.

“These new lights are a game-changer,” said Laverton MP Sarah Connolly.

“ Williams Landing FC can now use more of their fields day and night.”

The lighting projects at Saltwater Reserve and Galvin Park were also jointly funded by Wyndham council, the state government and tenant clubs, while the lighting at Price Reserve was fully funded through the federal government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.

“I know first-hand the amazing work Werribee Districts Football Club junior

program does from the time my sons played there, so I’m really proud this funding

will support their juniors at Price Reserve, ” said federal Lalor MP, Joanne Ryan.

Lighting and scoreboard upgrades at Goddard Street Reserve and

Wooten Road Reserve in Tarneit and Mainview Boulevard Reserve in Truganina, are currently being designed.
