In a boost to women's sport in the region, the City of Greater Bendigo welcomes the recent announcement of $3M funding from the Victorian Government towards a new pavilion and female-friendly change rooms at White Hills Oval, Scott Street.
The funding is included in the Victorian Government's upcoming 2026/2027 Budget. The City will also contribute funding to the project.
Greater Bendigo Mayor Cr Thomas Prince said this is an exciting investment in community sport facilities.
"Sport is not only great for being active and healthy, but it also brings people together, and pavilions such as White Hills are gathering places for local clubs and participants," Cr Prince said.
"We recognise the growing need for more female-friendly facilities, and the importance of removing barriers to access by constructing new and improved facilities to support participation growth and increase social, health and wellbeing outcomes.
"This investment will enable us to upgrade the pavilion, kitchen, spectator shelter, amenities and change room facilities to support female-friendly AFL, cricket and netball participation.
"The City is also contributing funding to deliver this project, and we look forward to sharing more with the community in the coming months."
