State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes recently announced the funding, which will go to Benalla Rural City Council, which is undertaking the project.

Ms Symes said the money was made available through the Regional Community Sports Infrastructure Fund.

“This funding is ensuring Benalla sporting facilities are world class — meaning everyone in the community can enjoy the sports they love for years to come,” she said.

The Regional Community Sports Infrastructure Fund encourages councils, clubs and communities to work together to design the facilities their town wants, with a focus on getting more people involved regardless of their age, gender or ability.

From playground redevelopments to new sporting hubs, investments like these provide high-quality and accessible places for Victorians to reap the benefits of sport and active recreation.

These projects are all about creating jobs, stimulating local economies, and improving the health, wellbeing and social outcomes for Victorian communities.
