MARIBYRNONG: Mp on ‘Future Footscray’
“Future Footscray is a working group I stablished in 2023 to work with residents, business, Maribyrnong Council, Victoria University, the Western Bulldogs and others to work towards a strategic vision for how our community can best capture the value that transformative investments such as the new Footscray Hospital will deliver to our community,” Footscray MLA Katie Hall (pictured) told Parliament.
“I am proud of what the group has accomplished to date and even prouder that the City of Maribyrnong will soon officially take ownership of the group, where it will continue to provide important strategic advice that will help shape our community’s future.”
Ms Hall said: “The Footscray Rugby Club has reached new heights, claiming the minor premiership across all three senior grades of the first division.
“I am told this is a first for any club in Rugby Victoria’s history. This on-field success has undoubtedly been driven by their off-field success, with more players and supporters than ever before.
“They are one of the biggest clubs in the league and driven solely by the hard work of the club’s members and leadership team. “And the Footscray Lacrosse Club has also had a successful run recently, with the Under-14s, Under-17s and State League reserve teams all qualifying for their respective grand finals.
“The inner west continues to kick goals, metaphorically and otherwise, when it comes to community sport. Best of luck to all in the upcoming finals.”
