Female-friendly change rooms will be installed at Sweeney Reserve, Narre Warren South, as part of a $100,000 State Government grant.
The funds will go towards a City of Casey project which is expected to cater for 50 extra young female footballers and two new female cricket teams.
The pavilion’s change rooms can’t currently be used by male and female players at the same time.
Four female-friendly change rooms and a first aid room are part of the project.
Narre Warren South MP Judith Couacaud Graley said that it was unacceptable that often female change rooms were rundown or non-existent, forcing women to use male change rooms and toilets – or their cars.
“They deserve to have the same opportunities to play and compete in the sports they love,” she said.
