On Thursday, October 18 Minister for Sport John Eren and Member for Yan Yean Danielle Green announced $180,000 towards upgrading Laurimar Recreation Reserve.
Despite record levels of participation, the Reserve’s cricket nets are in an awkward location, forcing batters to face directly into the sun.
“Whether it’s the Laurimar Power or even just a hit with the kids on the weekend, everyone in our community will benefit,” Green said.
Funding from a re-elected Labor Government will go towards the relocation and upgrade of the cricket nets, allowing players to train at all times during the day.
The upgraded Reserve will be utilised by local sporting clubs, with Laurimar Power Juniors, Seniors and Women’s teams all set to benefit.
