NATIONALS candidate for Lyne Alison Penfold has committed to provide $350,000 for improvements to the Rainbow Beach sporting complex, if the Coalition is elected after the 3 May Federal election.
Ms Penfold said the funding would install lighting at the existing multi-purpose court and three cricket nets on the grounds.
“These sports fields offer district level facilities for cricket, soccer and AFL as well as a multi-purpose court used by netballers, making them an incredibly valuable and well-used asset in the community,” Ms Penfold said.
“The netball and cricket clubs boast over 600 members between them, which proves these are strong, growing grassroots groups which deserve support.
“Right now, the Lake Cathie Netball Club can’t train on the netball court during the season due to the lack of lighting at the court, and while they currently have permission to use an indoor facility at the Lake Cathie Public School, it’s only a temporary solution.
“Putting in three cricket nets will also give the Bonny Hills Lake Cathie Cricket Club the extra set-up they need to cater for their growing membership and competition schedule.”
