Works on two major upgrades to Moorabool sporting facilities are continuing to progress, with the next stages to be completed in March.

At Darley Park, the Darley Park Community & Sports Centre is on-track for completion in mid-March, with the addition of the roof and external cladding and installation of window frames and electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical services.

The Darley Park Pavilion project has been funded by $2.5 million from the State Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund, $1.1 million from Moorabool Shire Council, and $481,000 from the three tenant clubs (Darley Football Netball Club, Darley Junior Football Netball Club, and the Darley Cricket Club).

Meanwhile at the Ballan Recreation Reserve, a new three-lane cricket net is taking shape, with Council expecting an early March completion date. Works completed to date include the removal of existing skate ramps, site excavation and drainage work, and installation of fence posts for the batting cage.

The three Darley Park tenant clubs are calling for community support to help fund the fitting out of the Darley Park Community & Sports Centre once it’s completed.
