A new Gippsland Sports Package is delivering four projects across the region as part of the Government’s Regional Sports Infrastructure Program.
Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium is one of 15 world-class sporting facilities across the state to see major upgrades to the venue, including upgrades to four playing courts and new lighting and technology for broadcasting.
More players will benefit from upgrades to changroom and toilets while new solar panels and skylights will ensure this project provides players have the facilities they need to succeed for generations to come.
From elite soccer to live music, the Gippsland Sports and Entertainment Park is a major sport and entertainment hub for the region – used by Melbourne Victory and for wrestling tournaments, concerts, expos and more.
A major upgrade will deliver a new pavilion and upgraded pitches complete with lighting and increased visitor capacity, boosting local jobs and businesses and the region’s economy as thousands of visitors flock to Gippsland to see their favourite sport and entertainment stars.
The Gippsland Sports Package is also delivering two more sports venue upgrades in Gippsland – including the Ted Summerton Reserve in Moe, which will benefit from a refurbished oval, lighting, amenities, and terraces while the Morwell Gun Club will also be boosted by a new shotgun trap shooting range and safety upgrades.
These projects will help increase sports participation among the Gippsland community and bring more elite sport to regional Victoria, supporting local businesses.
Further updates on the projects will be provided in the coming months, with first works to kick off later this year. For more information visit the Regional Sports Infrastructure Program
