INITIAL works on a new competition-grade gymnasium at Delacombe Primary School are underway.<\/p>\n
Principal Scott Phillips said both the school and the wider community was fortunate to receive the addition of a first-class stadium on campus.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see it as not just a win for our students and staff but also for the Delacombe community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have always seen the stadium as an integral part of the Delacombe Reserve, which is accessed by so many community members and sporting groups.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to its opening in April 2021 and developing a strong sporting culture in Delacombe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Phillips was joined last week by Member for Wendouree Juliana Addison to inspect the construction works as part of the $6.5 million project.<\/p>\n
In addition to the competition-grade indoor gymnasium, the capital works will also include a canteen, changing rooms, toilets, offices and landscaping.<\/p>\n
Ms Addison said the brand-new gymnasium will be a place for sport and school gatherings and will be welcomed by the Delacombe community.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow more than ever the Victorian Government is investing in Ballarat jobs and delivering the educational infrastructure that our kids, parents and school communities deserve,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Ballarat building company H.Troon has been tasked with the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
