The extensively used electronic scoreboard in the sports hall of Peninsula Leisure Centre in Woy Woy is getting a $9,820 upgrade, thanks to Community Building Partnership Program funding from the NSW Government.

Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said the hall got such a good workout every day from a variety of sportspeople – basketballers, runners, gym enthusiasts, pickleballers, volleyballers and numerous others.

“There’s little doubt that the electronic scoreboard is in need of a bit of a breather and a refresh,” she said.

“I’m so pleased to see this State Government funding for Central Coast Council to deliver this much-needed enhancement.

“The upgrade of the electronic scoreboard will have a positive recreational outcome for users of the sports hall.”

Central Coast Council Administrator Rik Hart said the upgrade would add another level of professionalism to games played in the hall.

“Team sports are a huge part of the Central Coast community, and Council is committed to ensuring that the facilities being used for matches are the best they can be,” he said.
