Perth Reds Volleyball Association is delighted to welcome the announcement made by the Cook State Government for a $2 million investment toward planning for a new indoor sporting facility in Perth’s inner southern suburbs.
Minister for Sport and Recreation Hon. David Templeman MLA made the announcement at Como Secondary College this morning, marking an important first step toward the development of a new indoor stadium in Perth’s inner south.
The decision to provide funding towards planning for a new facility follows a strong advocacy campaign by local members of Parliament, including Member for Victoria Park Hannah Beazley, Member for South Perth Geoff Baker and Member for Belmont Cassie Rowe, who were all present at today’s announcement.
The new facility is proposed to be located in Perth’s inner southern corridor and funding will go towards assessing various sites and design options, including the number of courts and other features.
