Much-loved Midwest recreation venues will be taking their activities to the next level after securing grant funding from the State Government’s Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF).
Mullewa Football Club was awarded $29,585 from both the State Government and the City of Greater Geraldton to install a sports ground fence around the Mullewa Recreation Ground, whilst Geraldton Hotrod and Country Club (Geraldton City Speedway) was successful in securing $42,399 from the State and $22,259 from the City to install a new LED race lighting control system and lap timing controllers.
City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Jerry Clune was elated by the announcement.
“Council is always enthusiastic about supporting clubs who are keen to enhance their facilities,” he said.
“A new fence will help maintain the turf at Mullewa Recreation Ground which is a key component of the sporting and social fabric of the area.
“The new lighting for Geraldton City Speedway will increase the venue’s safety rating enabling the Club to apply to host state and national titles.
“Congratulations to both organisations and I look forward to seeing our community enjoying these enhanced venues in the near future,” added Mayor Clune.”
CSRFF Small Round Grants are offered as up to 50% funding contributions from the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries. The remaining 50% of project costs are equally shared by the applicant and the City.
