Funding for pavilion project wanted Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON Council has asked the state government to stump up cash for the planned upgrade of Walter Galt Reserve in Mordialloc. Council has publicly called for the state government to contribute fund-
ing towards a redeveloped pavilion at Walter Galt Reserve. It is hoping to extend the existing building so it can host more female-friendly changerooms. The existing changerooms will also receive upgrades. The total cost of the upgrade is expected to be around $2.3 million. Council has asked the state government to contribute $775,000, and has
applied for the money through the Community Local Sports Infrastructure Fund 2022. Through the same grants fund council has also applied for $125,000 to upgrade the lighting at the Mordialloc sports ground. It has also asked for $125,000 towards a lighting upgrade at the Bonbeach St Chads Baseball Club’s home ground, and $300,000
for the planned $1.8 million redevelopment of the Peter Scullin Reserve playground. Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said that the projects, if funded, would all benefit the area significantly. “All of these projects strongly align with the eligibility criteria and will collectively address current barriers to participation, improve accessibility, increase
participation rates, provide much needed support to our local sporting clubs, and assist in the promotion of healthy active lifestyles for the community,” he said. “We have successfully partnered with the state government on a multitude of projects and programs, and we look forward to working together to see these through to fruition as well.”
