SURF AND MORE TURF IN TORQUAY

A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will support one of Victoria’s most beloved bowls clubs, with new funding to support the expansion of their iconic coastal greens.

Already one of the most coveted bowls destinations in the state, Labor will invest $40,000 for planning for a third green – enabling the popular Torquay Bowls Club to accommodate more members, games and events for the growing local community.

From surfing to bowls, local sport is the lifeblood of Torquay, drawing visitors from across the globe while weaving local communities and families strongly together.

That’s why the Labor Government is backing our sports clubs, families and communities by delivering better sports grounds and facilities.

We’ve invested more than $1.6 billion to upgrade and improve recreation reserves and sports grounds, delivering better playing surfaces, new scoreboards, lighting upgrades and changing facilities for clubs in every corner of the state – while at the same time, supporting local jobs.

In sharp contrast, when it comes to delivering the vital support that people in our community rely on, Matthew Guy’s Liberals can’t be trusted. Their policy of cuts and closures would leave locals behind.

Only a re-elected Labor Government will back the local sports clubs in our community – because only Labor will do what matters.
