Home Hill Bowls Club Set To Receive $500,000 Funding

Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox, announced this week that an elected
Dutton Liberal National Government will provide $500,000 to upgrade facilities at the
Home Hill Community Sports Club.

“Home Hill Community Sports Club is a cornerstone of the community, offering
members of all skill levels the chance to enjoy lawn bowls and croquet,” Mr Willcox
said.

“Currently members don’t have much protection from the sun, which is why I am
pleased to commit $500,000 towards new shade to cover the entire playing surface.

“This important upgrade will enhance the facilities, provide a safer and more enjoyable
environment for players, and help the club to continue to grow into the future.

“The LNP is committed to supporting small regional sports clubs, like the Home Hill
Community Sports Club, which play a significant role in keeping our communities
healthy and active.”

Home Hill Community Sports Club President, Trevor Elton, said, “since taking over the
club I have seen the club grow to have around 100 members and this funding will make
a huge difference.

“It’s fantastic news from the Federal Member for Dawson which will make a huge
difference to be able to get new shade covers over the bowling green. Once complete,
this shade upgrade will allow more sporting events and tournaments to be played all
year round.

“The future is looking bright, and we already have a meeting coming up with a local High
School in a bid to attract more junior players.”

“On behalf of all the members I would like to thank Andrew Willcox and the Coalition for
backing small regional sporting clubs like here ours.”
