Funding for upgrades at Narrabri netball courts, Spring Plains Hall

Narrabri’s netball courts and Spring Plains Hall will be upgraded after $836,000 in funding was announced by the NSW government.

The netball courts will see surface upgrades after $615,361 was awarded.

At Spring Plains Hall, the kitchen and supper rooms will be upgraded thanks to $221,323.

Parliamentary Secretary to the Deputy Premier, Sam Farraway said projects like these built upon the NSW government’s vision to help make regional NSW the best place to live, work and visit.

“This builds on the NSW government’s ongoing support of the Narrabri Shire through the Stronger Country Community Fund delivering over $2,000,000 in funding from the first four rounds invested right across the Narrabri Shire,” he said.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole announced that 435 projects across every single one of the state’s 93 regional local government areas (LGAs) would receive funding under Stronger Country Communities Fund Round Four.

“The Stronger Country Communities fund delivers guaranteed investment in every single regional LGA in NSW, and has seen $500 million invested across more than 1900 local projects since 2017,” Mr Toole said.

“About half of this latest $100 million round will deliver 189 female sporting projects, including the construction or upgrade of female changerooms, additional amenity blocks and bathrooms, and playing surfaces like netball and tennis courts.

“It will also deliver hundreds of projects that make everyday life in the regions easier, for things like new playgrounds, clubhouse, art gallery renovations, streetscape, accessibility, lighting upgrades and community programs.”

The Stronger Country Communities Fund is part of the $2 billion Regional Growth Fund, which alongside the $4.2 billion Snowy Hydro Legacy Fund is delivering infrastructure and programs that generate opportunities, investment and jobs.
