Men and women's football in Gladstone will continue to grow under an elected LNP Government, with Federal Member for Flynn, Colin Boyce announcing $320,000 for the Central Football Club and $400,000 for the Clinton Park Sports Association.
Mr Boyce said the funding will provide inclusive and accessible facilities that cater for the diversity of participants, particularly females, who wish to participate in the game.
"The current change rooms at Central Football Club are very old and no longer fit for purpose, given the number of players that the club now has and in particular women and girls," Mr Boyce said.
"Currently, females are changing in the hallway, as there is no room in the change area.
"The funding for the Clinton Park Sports Association will construct a new amenities building including a female-friendly change room, toilets, umpire facilities and first aid room.
"If we want to support female participation, we need to back our local sporting clubs with investment and that is what these upgrades will do."
