From grassroots junior sports teams to elite athletes, residents across North West and Western Sydney will be benefiting from a huge boost in funding for sports facilities, thanks to the NSW Government’s $5 billion WestInvest program.
Premier Dominic Perrottet, Treasurer Matt Kean and Minister for Sport Alister Henskens announced more than $316.7 million in funding for local councils and community groups in the Blacktown, Blue Mountains, Parramatta, Cumberland, Fairfield, Hawkesbury, Strathfield and The Hills LGAs to deliver 15 new and upgraded sports facilities across Western Sydney.
The projects include $53.7 million for Cumberland Council to transform an underutilised site at Greystanes into a precinct for a variety of indoor and outdoor sport including netball.
Executive General Manager of Communities and Pathways, Tim Fava, congratulates Cumberland Council for activating this project and is hopeful that Netball NSW and affiliated associations can be a primary user of the indoor facilities along with basketball, volleyball and badminton.
