Labor plays ball on stadium project Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au LABOR has committed to spending $15 million on the redevelopment of the Frankston Basketball Stadium if it wins the federal election. The planned upgrade is expected to include the addition of two new

basketball courts, the full redevelopment of courts seven and eight as multi-purpose basketball courts, refurbishment works on courts one to four, an improved foyer and office spaces, gymnastics facilities, and mezzanine spectator viewing. Frankston Council has committed $15 million to the project and asked for matching commitments from

the state and federal governments. Dunkley MP Peta Murphy and shadow treasurer Jim Chalmers made the funding announcement. Ms Murphy said that the upgrade is necessary to “make sure there are enough courts for everyone to play.” “Over 8,000 people regularly participate at Frankston Basketball. It’s one of the biggest basketball associa-

tions in Australia, and it’s still growing,” she said. “A federal Labor government will invest in the upgrade of Frankston Basketball Stadium. It will mean new basketball courts, more change rooms and better community spaces. And there’s room for gymnastics too. But best of all, it’ll mean more locals can get involved.” Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy
