A re-elected Cook Labor Government will contribute towards significant upgrades to women’s sport and recreation facilities across Murray-Wellington.

Sport and Recreation Minister David Templeman joined Murray-Wellington MLA Robyn Clarke to announce $1.45 million towards a new pavilion at Dwellingup Oval, which will include women’s changerooms, as well as a modernised kitchen to service locals at both sport and other community events.

The announcement also included $800,000 towards upgrading changerooms at Waroona Oval to cater for women and girls and help boost participation at Waroona Football Club.

Sir Ross McLarty Oval will also benefit from an $180,000 investment towards ugrades to existing changerooms to improve women’s facilities.

These investments are part of the re-elected Cook Labor Government’s comprehensive plan to improve women’s facilities at community sporting clubs.

The Dwellingup Oval and Pavilion is a high traffic public space, used by the Dwellingup Razorbacks Football Club, as well as for community events including the Dwellingup 100 cycling event, the Dwellingup Pumpkin Festival and the Dwellingup Log Chop and community fair.

The announcement reflects WA Labor’s commitment to enhancing women’s facilities at community sporting clubs and breaking down barriers to participation.

Comments attributed to Sport and Recreation Minister David Templeman:

“This is a major win for the Dwellingup, Waroona and Pinjarra communities, and I am very proud WA Labor is supporting these upgrades."

“Improvements to any facilities which encourage more women and girls to take part in sport and active recreation are a positive for the community, both from a mental and physical health perspective."

“WA Labor has a strong and proud legacy of investing in grassroots and women’s sport right around the State, and we are very keen to continue delivering on that if re-elected."

Comments attributed to Murray-Wellington MLA Robyn Clarke:

“The local ovals are a huge asset to our local community, but the facilities are dated and need to be replaced."

“With so many locals and organisations across Dwellingup, Waroona and Pinjarra using these facilities during the week and on weekends, I have no doubt this commitment to these projects will be really well-received by the communities.”
