Money for Stadium redevelopment, regardless of who wins on Saturday

 

Mayor Cr Peter Cox has welcomed an announcement by the Deputy Premier Peter Ryan, confirming a $5M commitment to be put towards the Bendigo Stadium redevelopment.

Cr Cox said the announcement matches that made by the Victorian Labor Party in September and meant no matter who wins on Saturday, there will be funding available to propel the project.

“The Stadium is an important community facility and the funding will help pay for three new basketball courts that can be converted into a 3000-seat show court. It will also be used to create 12 new netball courts and change rooms,” Cr Cox said.

“The Stadium is a great economic driver for the City and this investment is essential to ensuring it can continue to cater for grassroots sport, national and international sporting events, and entertainment for our local community and the wider region.”
