  • Re-elected Cook Labor Government to invest $1.25 million in Rea Park and Collier Street Redevelopment

A major new sports precinct in Manjimup will be a step closer to completion under a re-elected Cook Labor Government with WA Labor committing a further $1.25 million to the project.

The Shire of Manjimup’s Rea Park and Collier Street Redevelopment plan aims to transform the existing multi-use Rea Park and Collier Street Reserve into a premier-level sporting facility catering for high-level events, in addition to regular club usage and non-sporting events such as the Warren District Agricultural Show.

The project is being delivered across several stages.

The Cook Labor Government helped fund Stage 1 of the project, investing $483,000 to upgrade power and lighting at the facility.

If re-elected, the Cook Labor Government will commit $1.25 million to help fund Stage 2 of the project, which will involve playing field upgrades, improved drainage, player and spectator amenities and new events infrastructure.

This commitment takes WA Labor’s overall investment in Manjimup’s new sports precinct to more than $1.7 million.

Comments attributed to Sport and Recreation Minister David Templeman:

“Right across our great State, WA Labor is investing in new sporting infrastructure for local communities."

“Sport is so often at the heart of our regional communities, which is why it is important we invest in critical projects like Manjimup’s new sporting precinct.”

Comments attributed to Warren-Blackwood MLA Jane Kelsbie

“Sport is such a big part of the Manjimup community, and the redevelopment of Rea Park and Collier Street is something I have long advocated for."

“Today’s announcement of a further $1.25 million will help deliver Stage 2 of the project, following our $483,000 investment in Stage 1."

“WA Labor is committed to this project and will continue to support the Shire of Manjimup as it delivers future stages.”
