A Dutton-led Liberal National Government will transform the Maleny Bowls Club by investing $1.217 million towards significant upgrades so the local hinterland club can support its members and the community for years to come.
The funding will go towards a new canopy, an artificial green, and crucial upgrades to the club’s kitchen and service areas.
Federal Member for Fisher, Andrew Wallace MP, said the funding highlighted the LNP’s commitment to the Maleny community.
“What I love about Maleny is the strong sense of community and warmth, celebrated by locals and visitors alike,” Mr Wallace said.
“Part of that welcoming spirit is a result of the local clubs and community groups that bring people together. The Maleny Bowls Club does just that – combatting loneliness by getting Maleny active and fostering meaningful connections.
“I know that this upgrade will enable the club to continue this vital work for many years to come.
“Only a Liberal National Government will get Australia back on track by supporting our local clubs and sporting venues with the investment they need to continue to thrive.”
Secretary of the Maleny Bowls Club, Brett Gillis, welcomed the commitment to the club, which is one of the most active local sporting clubs in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
“The possibilities are endless for how we can support the community with an upgrade like this. It’ll transform how we connect with local groups, clubs and schools, and how we train and compete,” Mr Gillis said.
“This is a huge show of good faith in our club and the Maleny community, and I’m so pleased that the LNP – and Andrew Wallace – have committed to supporting us in this way.”
This commitment is part of the LNP’s local plan to deliver for Fisher – and our plan to get the country back on track. Find out more at lnp.au/ontrack.
