I want to congratulate Longwood Football Netball Club on the official opening of their new female friendly changerooms.
This project has been a long time coming, and it is the result of persistence and determination from the club and the local community.
I was pleased to play a role in supporting the Redlegs’ campaign for improved facilities, submitting budget proposals, letters of support, and encouraging Strathbogie Shire Council to pursue funding for the project.
I want to congratulate Club President Ricki Shiner and everyone involved at the Longwood Football Netball Club for their tireless efforts in bringing this project to life.
These new facilities will make a real difference – providing modern, safe and inclusive changerooms not just for Longwood’s players and volunteers, but also for visiting teams, umpires and the wider community.
Female friendly and accessible infrastructure is an essential part of growing participation in sport and supporting the health, wellbeing and confidence of women and girls across our region.
Our local sports clubs are the backbone of our communities.
I will continue to work to ensure they receive the investment and support they deserve so that projects like this can be delivered right across our electorate.
