DELIVERING MAJOR UPGRADES FOR FOXFIELD OVAL HALL

A re-elected Albanese Labor Government would put $1.5 million towards redeveloping Foxfield Oval Hall in Athelstone.

This election commitment will go towards upgrading the hall to provide a fit-for-purpose space that can keep up with community demand.

The project will include providing internal and accessible toilets, a larger hall floor space with better acoustics and kitchen functionality, more storage and better access.

Foxfield Oval Hall is regularly used for events run by our local sporting and community groups.

It has been the home of Athelstone Table Tennis Club for more than 60 years and is also used by the Athelstone Football Club, Athelstone Cricket Club and a private boxing gym.

Built more than 60 years ago, this ageing facility does not meet current demand or accessibility requirements.

This redevelopment will address these concerns and ensure the hall can be enjoyed well into the future.

The local community and the City of Campbelltown have been advocating for this project, and Federal Labor has listened.

Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.
