Community sport and recreation in Bunbury will be boosted under a re-elected Cook Labor Government with $2.3 million committed for upgrades at various clubs and facilities.

Bunbury Speedway will receive $750,000 for canteen, toilet and accessibility upgrades and the Bunbury Motorcycle Club will also have $750,000 allocated for clubroom upgrades.

WA Labor will also invest $700,000 in minor upgrades at Carey Park Football Club, building on the existing multi-million dollar investment by the Cook Labor Government at Hands Oval down the road to bring it up to AFL standard for the historic North Melbourne Football Club home games over coming years.

Bunbury City Kart Club will also receive $100,000 for medical facilities as part of the Cook Labor Government’s overarching package for all Karting WA tracks to have standalone medical facilities.

The $2.3 million investment from WA Labor reflects its commitment to supporting regional communities and improving infrastructure at major community hubs.

Comments attributed to Sport and Recreation Minister David Templeman:

“Local sporting clubs are the beating heart of any community, and ensuring they have quality facilities is critical."

“Investing in upgrades at motorsport clubs like Bunbury Speedway, Bunbury Motorcycle Club and Bunbury City Kart club is important as we continue to make motorsport more accessible and safer for local communities."

“Additionally, allocating further funding for upgrades at Carey Park Football Club is another sign of our government’s commitment to making Bunbury a major regional sporting hub in WA.”

Comments attributed to Bunbury MLA Don Punch:

“Football and motorsports are two extremely popular past times for our local community, and improving infrastructure is important in continuing to attract more people to these sports."

“It will be fantastic to see yet another sporting club receive funding for an upgrade under the Cook Labor Government, delivering another win for Bunbury residents.”
