Serena Copley
Liberal for Kiama
Liberal candidate for Kiama Serena Copley welcomed the announcement by NSW Liberal Leader Mark Speakman that a NSW Liberal Government will deliver $26 million for urgently needed upgrades to the Kiama Sports Precinct Complex.
Ms Copley said this $26 million commitment will deliver the first stage of Kiama Council's masterplan for a modern, fit-for-purpose sporting precinct for Kiama.
This major investment will deliver:
· New football amenities and changerooms, including dedicated facilities for female players for the first time
· New netball amenities and changerooms
· Installation of high-grade lighting for four football fields (including cricket) and the athletics track
· Resurfacing and reconfiguration of outdoor netball courts and car parking
· Extensive new drainage and irrigation to weather-proof fields and track
· Construction of a new synthetic athletics track (replacing the existing grass track)
· Installation of new CCTV to improve community safety and security
Ms Copley said the local sporting community had been crying out for these upgrades.
"From netball and basketball to football, cricket, athletics and Little A's, the precinct supports thousands of players every week. This funding will make sure those facilities keep pace with demand and are safe, accessible and ready for the future," Ms Copley said.
"This announcement is about listening to the needs of local clubs and delivering what matters most, modern amenities, safer playing surfaces, and facilities that encourage participation for all, including women and juniors."
"I'm proud to be part of the Liberal Team that believes so strongly in Kiama and is willing to invest to ensure we have a better future for generations to come."
