Mooroolbark Heights Reserve clubrooms
Mr HODGETT (Croydon) (12:26): Today I rise to raise a few important matters within my electorate. The Mooroolbark Heights Reserve clubrooms were built in 1970 and are host to the Mooroolbark football and cricket clubs and are in desperate need of an upgrade. Women players currently do not have access to change rooms when men are playing, which is shocking, particularly in this day and age. A long overdue upgrade would include a separate change facility for women, which would increase female participation in local sport and provide equal access for all players. Despite being on the council’s top 10 priority list, a new pavilion is still five to 10 years away from being completed. There is an urgent need to get these clubrooms prioritised and built. I will continue to work hard and advocate for funding to deliver the new clubroom facilities for the Mooroolbark Football Club and Mooroolbark Cricket Club.
