A Moorabool play space is set to benefit from an upgrade, thanks to the State Government\u2019s Living Local Fund.<\/p>\n
The Darley Park Play Space upgrade will be funded by a $200,000 grant, with Member for Buninyong Michaela Settle visiting Darley Park on Tuesday 25 October to deliver the news.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Play Space is a $200,000 grant, it\u2019s not an election commitment. The whole idea about the Living Local Fund is trying to invest in things that keep communities together, and I can\u2019t think of a better way to do that than a play space,\u201d Ms Settle told the Moorabool News.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really delighted. It\u2019s going to complement all the work we\u2019re doing with the sports clubs there, there\u2019s going to be a brand-new facility, and now there will be an upgraded play space there for the whole community to use.\u201d<\/p>\n
The funding will support the construction of a new accessible play space, landscaping, and park furniture, encouraging physical activity and community connectedness.<\/p>\n
Moorabool Shire Mayor Cr Tom Sullivan thanked Ms Settle and the State Government for the funding.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very grateful to receive this funding through the Living Local Fund. Accessible and safe play spaces are such an important aspect of our open spaces in Moorabool, and we\u2019re very happy Darley Park will receive this upgrade,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Living Local Fund will support more than 400 projects across Victoria, with councils and community organisations benefiting from grants of up to $200,000 for upgrades to shopping strips, playgrounds, community gardens and more.<\/p>\n
