Schools and sporting clubs across the Badgerys Creek electorate have received funding to repair and refurbish amenities across the area.
Badgerys Creek MP Tanya Davies recently joined students and staff at Bethany Catholic Primary School in Glenmore Park to formally open their repaired and refurbished basketball court.
The court was repaired through $62,000 from the Community Building Partnership Program.
Davies was delighted to secure the investment for the school.
“I was pleased to support this worthy project, and I’m thrilled to see the students enjoying the repaired and refurbished basketball court,” Davies said.
“I commend the school on their own fundraising efforts which contributed to the project.”
Davies also met with St Clair Junior Rugby League Club President Luke Demanuele, former President and current Secretary Darren Mudford with footy superstars Jarvis and Rocco to celebrate the club receiving $21,616 towards the purchase of two portable changerooms at Peppertree Reserve.
“I commend current and former Presidents Luke Demanuele, Darren Mudford, Treasurer Angela Tester and their fellow club members for their commitment to this project and I had no hesitation in offering them my full support,” Davies said.
“These portable changerooms will provide the growing number of women players with private facilities to prepare for their games.
“I am pleased to see more young girls and women become involved in sport and I am proud to be able to support them by this grant.”
Other projects in the Badgerys Creek area that received funding including a new wheelchair modified van for Sunnyfield, an insulated cover and concrete slab at Irfan College, a dedicated playground at Barramurra Public School, 10 new picnic tables at Trinity Catholic Primary School, window repairs at Wallacia Progress Association and repairs at the Trustees of the Secular Institute of the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary.
