Mitchell Shire Council is excited to announce its partnership with Hockey Victoria in the development of a new high-performance multipurpose sports facility in Beveridge.
The new facility will play a crucial role in increasing participation and nurturing local talent of hockey in the region, as well bringing high performance opportunities to the Shire.
It is intended that this facility will provide a home base for the Cobras Hockey One team and its pathway programs, offering world-class opportunities for athletes to train and compete.
Council has also welcomed a $500,000 election commitment from Federal Member for McEwen Rob Mitchell to support the operations of Cobras Hockey through Hockey Victoria.
This funding will assist the ongoing operations of the Cobras Hockey program.
Mitchell Shire Mayor Councillor John Dougall expressed his enthusiasm for the project and its potential to benefit the local community.
"We are pleased to partner with Hockey Victoria in the development of this facility, which will provide a vital hub for sport in our region," he said.
"This facility will help Mitchell Shire's athletes access top-tier resources, training, and mentoring, creating new opportunities for participation in hockey and other partner sports that will be announced in future."
