PLANNING FOR A BETTER FAIRLEA SPORTS PRECINCT
A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will invest $100,000 to plan for the future of the Fairlea Sports Precinct at Yarra Bend Park, Fairfield.
Local clubs and families need facilities that keep up with a growing community – and getting the planning right is the first step.
That’s why Labor will back the local council and deliver up to $100,000 towards a masterplan for the Fairlea Sports Precinct, guiding future upgrades for local clubs.
The Fairlea Sports Precinct is a hub for sporting clubs in the inner north – and this planning will help them grow with the community.
Labor backs community sport.
A Liberal-One Nation Coalition Government would cut it.
