An elected Liberal Government will commit $400,000 for infrastructure upgrades at the Yarrambat Park Golf Club.
Yarrambat Park Golf Club is rapidly expanding and is seeing more young golfers taking part in competitions and enrolling in lessons.
This funding will upgrade the driving range to improve safety for all golfers. It will also redevelop the child-friendly activity areas.
Liberal candidate for McEwen, Jason McClintock, was joined by WPGA qualified golf professional Jess Boyce to make the announcement.
“I’m really excited that because of this commitment, more young people can get involved with golf, and live healthy, active lives.”
Nick Cox, CEO of Belgravia Leisure, said: “Driven by strong community ties, Yarrambat Park Golf Course has seen significant growth of late and was recently honored with Golf Victoria’s Inclusive Facility of the Year Award.”
“We are thrilled to receive this much needed support to upgrade the driving range facility, allowing us to continue to expand our offering whilst engaging with the local community. This in turn will no doubt provide a platform for everyone – including new participants – to enjoy the health benefits of golf,” said Mr Cox.
Matt Weisheit, Yarrambat Park Golf Manager, said: “This announcement is an outstanding result for the local community and importantly will offer excellent opportunities for women, youth, seniors, families and newcomers to engage with and enjoy the sport.
“Golf is an excellent activity for physical, mental, and social well-being, and with the upgrade to the driving range, it will provide a top-quality facility to further foster the strong community spirit and promote healthy lifestyle opportunities for the local area,” said Mr Weisheit.
