It is out with the old and in with the new at Nagambie Recreation Reserve, with construction well underway on the refurbishment of the clubrooms.
The old panelling and toilet and shower fittings have been removed to make way for a brand new fit out for the building.
Plumbing has also commenced and works on the clubrooms are expected to continue over the coming months, with construction scheduled for completion in the later part of 2019.
The end result will be a complete refurbishment of the clubrooms, including:
- Female friendly facilities including updated toilet and change room facilities
- Updated toilet and change room facilities in the football rooms to adhere to relevant sporting guidelines
- An all-abilities toilet and shower facility including a baby-change station
- Designated umpire change rooms with toilet and shower facilities
The upgrade has a total budget of over $250,000, including $100,000 from the Victorian Government's Country Football Netball Program, $100,000 contribution from Strathbogie Shire Council, $30,000 contribution from Bendigo Bank and in-kind support from a variety of the local user groups.
Strathbogie Shire Mayor and Nagambie Lakes Ward Councillor Amanda McClaren said it is fantastic to see works underway on such an important community project.
"The Nagambie Recreation Reserve has been in desperate need of an upgrade to ensure it's ongoing use by a variety of sporting groups," Mayor McClaren said.
"It is great to see works happening at the site and we look forward to seeing the finished product, which will be so much more accessible for our whole community."
