Wyong District Netball Association is set to receive $40,000 to upgrade their clubhouse, canteen and outdoor playing area thanks to the NSW Government’s $37.2M Local Small Commitments Allocation Program.

Member for Wyong David Harris said the Local Small Commitments Allocation Program was aimed at enhancing local community projects by providing $40,000 in benefits to each of the 93 NSW electorates.

The program consists of more than 600 small community projects, ranging from capital works, services and programs, events, supplies and equipment, charitable donations, and playground and park upgrades.

Harris said the $40,000 for the Wyong District Netball Association will allow those impaired with physical mobility to access areas of the clubhouse, as well as upgrading the existing outdoor lighting to train and hold twilight competitions.

It will also go towards providing a security system for the clubhouse, a security light on the premises for safety, provide additional power points for a chair lift, upgrade the electrical timer microwaves and provide an ice machine to benefit members, injured players and first aid staff.

“The NSW Government has committed funds to the program which will help small local projects and programs that strengthen communities and provide improvements at a local level, making NSW an even better place to live,” Harris said.

“This is a fantastic outcome for Wyong District Netball Association and the people of Wyong electorate.

“The project will deliver the final touches to accommodate members, 19 community clubs and over 140 teams from the region who compete at Wyong District Netball courts.”
