Dingley Reserve pavilion
Meng Heang TAK (Clarinda) (10:05): I was delighted to represent the Minister for Community Sport last week to officially open the new Dingley Reserve pavilion, made possible by a Victorian government investment of $4.5 million. It was fantastic news for local footy, netball and cricket in Dingley Village, and it was great to share a moment with leaders and members of the Dingley Junior Football Club and Dingley Football Netball Club. Sport is the lifeblood of local communities like Dingley, and up until recently the more than 900 members of the Dingoes club were struggling to host training and games due to cramped and ageing clubrooms. However, the project was delivered with a new two-storey pavilion and player and umpire change rooms, all suitable for women and girls. It also has a new multipurpose community room, kitchen, kiosk and first-aid room and new public toilets, providing a boost for local clubs and their players. It is an amazing facility for members, fans, local businesses and community organisations to host events of all kinds.
