Member for Kiama Gareth Ward has announced a grant for the Kiama Cavaliers Cricket Club.
The funding was secured by Mr Ward through the NSW Government Community Building Partnerships grant program.
This funding will be used to upgrade facilities for the Kiama Cricket Club at the Quarry Sports Complex. The existing storage shed will be extended to allow for adequate storage of sporting equipment along with waterproofing. There will also be repairs carried out to the cricket pitch netting to better improve safety for team players.
“These upgrades mark a significant milestone for Kiama Cricket Club and reflect the dedicated support from the local community. This was reflected in the petition that was collected in support of this grant,’’ Mr Ward said.
“I acknowledge the great work of the club's executive and particularly the Cavs’ Secretary, Mark Burgess. Collectively, they have achieved a fantastic result for the Quarry Sports Complex, and I am looking forward to seeing the facility upgrades complete.
“These grants are not costs to government. They are investments in local community sporting infrastructure.
Kiama Cavaliers Cricket Club Secretary, Mark Burgess welcomed the grant funding.
“These grants will help deliver two much needed projects to support cricket in Kiama and our club is thankful for the support,’’ Mr Burgess said.
“The shed is bursting at the seams, and this will help keep gear and ground maintenance equipment secure and protected. A renovated net will support improved training and improve safety,’’ Mr Burgess concluded.
