Frankston basketball and gymnastics stadium
Paul EDBROOKE (Frankston) (09:59): What a tremendous week Frankston has had. First of all, we turned the sod on the new $60 million Frankston and District Basketball Association and Bayside Gymnastics stadium. It has been something in people’s minds since 2016 when the first funding package was arranged but unfortunately fell through the cracks. But for more than 9000 basketballers who, every time they hear that basketball echoing off those walls, wonder when will they have enough room, when they will be able to not take their kids to basketball at 11:30 at night, this is great news. It is going to take two years to build, there will be four extra courts – just an amazing facility. For everyone who is involved, especially the FDBA and Bayside Gymnastics, Wayne and Tim, the brains and the force behind this in basketball, I say thank you. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your trust; it is paying off now. And thank you to the parents and our future sporting stars for their patience as well.
