A major boost for the region’s sports infrastructure has been announced.
The Geelong Sports Package will see two indoor sports centres built in Waurn Ponds and Armstrong Creek.
The Waurn Ponds facility will include six multi-sport courts, gym and dance studio, while the centre in Armstrong Creek will feature four indoor multi-sport courts and extra car parking.
Hockey facilities will be upgraded in Torquay and Stead Park in Corio, including new pitches, lighting, scoreboard and seating.
Community Sport Minister Ros Spence said $250 million dollars will be invested into the infrastructure.
“This is a massive investment that will be an absolute game changer for grassroots sport right across the region,” Ms Spence said.
“It will give residents the sports infrastructure they need to grow their clubs and get more people involved.”
