Bannockburn & District Bowls Club officially welcomed its new and upgraded greens this week.
Member for Geelong Christine Couzens MP officially opened the facility on Tuesday July 19 and was joined by Golden Plains Shire Mayor Cr Gavin Gamble and Bannockburn & District Bowls Club president Les McInerney.
The project has delivered the installation of a new bowling green, alongside the installation of high-quality lighting, landscaping, paths, new seating and shelters.
The $760,270 partnership project was funded by $370,670 from Golden Plains Shire Council, $250,000 from Sport and Recreation Victoria and $140,000 from the Bannockburn & District Bowls Club.
“From installing a new green to lighting, seating and shelters – the Victorian Government is providing more opportunities for Bannockburn locals to play bowls day and night,” Minister Couzens said.
“The Victorian government is supporting the continued growth of bowls in Bannockburn, helping residents stay active and healthy.”
“The impressive new facilities will support greater use of this community facility and allow the Bannockburn & District Bowls Club to expand their high-quality programming, providing more opportunities for the local community to play bowls during the day and at night,” Golden Plains Shire mayor Gavuin Gamble said.
“Council is pleased to support the continued growth of bowls in Golden Plains Shire, and we encourage community members of all ages to check out this wonderful facility and give the sport a try.”
