Bridgetown Sports Ground completes upgrades after receiving $170,000 in funding from state government

The Bridgetown Sports Ground has re-opened after completing upgrades for the ground’s irrigation and lighting systems follow State Government funding of $170,000. The Bridgetown Sports Ground received $90,347 through the Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund to install irrigation and sub soil drainage on the sports ground. The ground also received $80,147 through the State Government’s Club Night Lights Program to upgrade brighter lighting at the sports ground. Last week, Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes representatives and local community sporting club members attended at the grounds to officially light up the completed upgrades, with Member for Warren-Blackwood Jane Kelsbie in attendance as well. Ms Kelsbie said she was “stoked” the State Government helped deliver the funding for the upgrades for the Bridgetown Sports Ground. “It was great to join the local community to check out the completed infrastructure upgrades at Bridgetown Sports Ground and see the lights in all their shining glory,” she said. “Facilities like this provide regional communities with the space to be active and come together – whether it’s competing for their local sporting club, volunteering on the sidelines or socialising after a game. “I’m stoked our government has helped deliver these upgrades for the Bridgetown community and look forward to seeing the sports ground enjoyed for many years to come.”
