Two major infrastructure grants have been awarded under Greater Shepparton City Council’s Our Sporting Future program.
Council will contribute $30,000 towards a $133,000 project to provide a safe and secure event control centre for the Shepparton and District Car Club.
The centre will include a first-aid treatment centre, a family friendly spectator area, meeting room, storage and scrutineering bay at the club’s racing facility in Little Rd, Mooroopna.
Greater Valley Calisthenics Club will receive a grant of $20,000, covering half the cost of bathroom facilities to replace two bathrooms that are in unsuitable condition due to mould, cracks and difficult-to-clean surfaces.
