Families in Knox and across the Bayswater electorate will enjoy better sporting facilities, thanks to a re-elected Andrews Labor Government.

We’ll invest up to $2 million towards a pavilion upgrade, delivering new facilities that the whole community can be proud of, especially the Ferntree Gully Eagles senior and junior football clubs, the Ferntree Gully Cricket Club and the 1st Ferntree Gully Scout Group.

Community sport is the lifeblood of so many suburbs, bringing families together through a shared love of sport.

Local clubs work hard to fundraise for better facilities for their teams and it’s important we support them as well.

That’s why the Andrews Labor Government is backing local sports clubs and families to deliver better sports grounds and facilities.

We have invested more than $1.6 billion to upgrade and improve local recreation reserves and sports grounds – making them better for local families.

We’ve delivered better courts and grounds, new scoreboards, lighting upgrades and changing facilities for clubs in every corner of the state.

Only Labor will deliver a pavilion upgrade for Wally Tew Reserve, looking after the needs of local families.
