A multi million dollar sports pavilion and oval has been officially unveiled at Berwick Chase Recreation Reserve, featuring accessible amenities and cricket facilities.
City of Casey chair of administrators Noelene Duff was joined by Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas and local club representatives on 9 August to officially open the facility, which was supported by $1.75 million in council funding and $1.4 million in State Government funding.
The new pavilion, adjacent to the oval, features two female friendly change rooms with amenities, female friendly umpire change room with amenities, accessible toilet, storage, canteen and undercover spectator area.
The oval includes 50 lux LED lighting, a synthetic cricket pitch, as well as cricket practice nets for club and casual play.
Nearby Berwick Chase Primary School will also be able to access the new facility for school sports and physical education programs.
Mr Maas used the launch as an opportunity to encourage locals to get involved in their local sporting club.
“Community sports are vital to the health and wellbeing of our community and the new pavilion gives locals of all ages and abilities even more reason to sign up to local clubs,” he said.
“It is fantastic to see the upgrade delivered which will help Berwick Chase Primary School enhance their sports programs and provide the community with a great space for sports and recreation.”
“Our students and the broader community will benefit from this new area for many years to come.”
