At RF Miles Reserve in Seaford, a new sporting and community pavilion is on the way for the home of the Seaford Tigers football, netball and cricket clubs.
The growing participant numbers at Seaford Football Netball Club and Seaford Cricket Club will soon enjoy access to a new two-storey pavilion featuring female friendly changerooms and amenities, umpire rooms, first aid room and social and meetings rooms.
A reconfigured larger oval and lighting that meets AFL standards, along with new netball courts, cricket nets, a scoreboard and coaches’ box are also on the way.
The RF Miles Recreation Reserve pavilion project was made possible by a $2.6 million investment from the Government’s Local Sports Grants initiative.
At Ballam Park the Victorian Government invested $300,000 towards improvements including a new pavilion with eight female-friendly changerooms, a kitchen, kiosk, social space, referee changerooms, storage, first-aid facilities and public toilets, as well as new parking and lighting for user safety.
It’s a boon for the Peninsula Strikers which has 300 players and for the first time a facility that is inclusive to female participants. The project also included installation of new lighting for two pitches, allowing even greater utilisation of the pitches for training and games.
The Victorian Government provided $2.9 million towards both Frankston City Council projects.
