BAYSIDE: $250,000 for Reserve
A $250,000 expenditure has been allocated by the state Government for the Peterson Street Reserve in Highett, says Ryan Batchelor (pictured), Southern Metropolitan MLC.
“There was a win in the budget for the three sporting clubs who call Peterson Reserve in Highett home – $250,000 provided by the Labor Government to support upgrades to facilities,” Mr Peterson said.
“The Hampton Hammers Football Club, the Highett West Cricket Club and the East
Sandringham Junior Football Club, with whom I played my one glorious season of Under-10s, all play at the reserve, and it is the final oval in the City of Bayside to be on the list for upgrades for modern facilities for its members and players.
“It was a pleasure to join Richard, Anthony and Graeme, representing the three clubs, and in particular local councillor Andrew Hockley, who has been an absolute champion for Peterson Street Reserve, to announce the money from the State Government, which will sit alongside the significant contribution from the City of Bayside to upgrade the facilities at the reserve. I very much look forward to seeing the progress of this project,” Mr Batchelor said.
