A Dutton Liberal Government will commit $1.82 million to install a synthetic playing surface at Summerhayes Park in Winmalee – home of Springwood United Football Club.
Springwood United Football Club is the largest club in the Nepean Football Association – which has over 1000 registered members and volunteers – all of whom will benefit from a synthetic pitch as well as new goals and corner flags on Field 1 at Summerhayes Park.
This commitment, which has been years in the making, follows community concerns about inclement weather posing an injury risk to players, preventing play and damaging existing pitches.
Liberal candidate for Macquarie, Mike Creed, said a synthetic pitch at Summerhayes Park will benefit local players.
“This commitment will make playing at Summerhayes Park safer, allow for all-weather play and ultimately grow the sport of football amongst young women and girls,” Mr Creed said.
“Springwood United rightly say that they are ‘united and sport’ and ‘uniting the community’ – and I think this sums up why making this commitment is so important for our region.”
Shadow Minister for Communications and Shadow Minister for Western Sydney, Melissa McIntosh MP, welcomed the announcement and praised Mike Creed for his advocacy.
“Locals in the Mountains know that Labor has taken them for granted which has meant they have missed out on significant upgrades like this one at Summerhayes Park in Winmalee,” Mrs McIntosh said.
“The people of Macquarie deserve better and that is exactly what they will get with Mike, who I know has worked tirelessly with local clubs and their volunteers to make this commitment.”
This commitment is part of the Liberals’ plan to get Australia back on track.
