A local MP is calling on Moorabool residents to have their voices heard, and sign a statement urging the Federal Government to help fund a new pool.<\/p>\n
Member for Eureka, Michaela Settle, is collecting signatures for a petition, which will urge the Federal Government to provide $15 million for an indoor pool in Bacchus Marsh.<\/p>\n
Moorabool Shire Council has already contributed $15 million to the pool, to be located at Taverner Street\u2019s MARC (Moorabool Aquatic and Recreation Centre), while the State Government has also chipped in with a $10 million commitment. <\/p>\n
The long sought after \u201cfinal piece of the puzzle\u201d is $15 million from the Federal Government.<\/p>\n
Ms Settle is urging the community to get involved and continue pressing the Federal Government to help get the shovel-ready project done.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur petition is gaining momentum as we ask the Commonwealth Government to contribute to our much-needed pool,\u201d Ms Settle said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have written to ask the Commonwealth Government to come on board for this vital project for Bacchus Marsh. Sign up to join our campaign and stay informed on our progress – and help make a lasting legacy for our community!\u201d<\/p>\n
