Community Facility Upgrade

The Lakes Entrance Recreation Reserve COM are fully supportive of the grant application and are the main contributors of the funds required for the building of the new facilities as well as in kind support offered from the Lakes Entrance Football Netball Club & Lakes Entrance Cricket Club which are the two main users groups of the facility.
AFL Gippsland have recently imposed extra fees on all Football Clubs, with out prior consultation, for their running costs as AFL Victoria have cut their funding, so limited funding opportunities for Grass Roots Clubs to make improvements to their facilities when fees go up!
The facilities are used often by local schools for their schools sports program, AFL Gippsland for AFL footballer visits, NET Set Go program, Lakes Entrance Netball Association, Auskick & Local Community groups for fundraising activities & promotions free of charge. So please vote to help make the facilities better in Lakes Entrance.

Much needed upgrade, which will continue to give youth of area a place to come and interact and grow within a sporting environment. Such a large town who deserve facilities to be upgraded. We need to keep a clean healthy space so people can continue to be active within sporting Communities

The facilities are a disgrace, outdated, not safe, no female toilets or change room. The condition of this facility is an embrassement to Lakes entrance community. We need this upgrade desperately for all the sporting clubs that access this facility.

Iplayed I n the year this facility opened 1962' also served on the Reserve Committe for 26 years but never able to get grant from Lands Dept the reserve has now taken over the area and made a caravan park that is to big for a sporting area

The major outdoor sporting facility in town, desperately needs an upgrade. Used by all ages.

An old change rooms that has a wobbly floor, no equitable area for male, female, juniors nor umpires The only recreation reserve in Lakes Entrance that has 7000 residents. Long overdue for the Lakes Entrance Community whom seem to been forgotten when it comes to sporting infrastructure. Lets make our only sports ground inviting for new and existing participants.

This is overdue.

The amount of use this facility gets throughout the entire year, it is in desperate need of an upgrade, school groups, community events as well as the obvious sporting groups from Auskick to Senior Football and Net set Go to A Grade Netball is covered but without accommodating for young girls playing football and the netballers. I would hate to be an umpire getting ready for a game. It is a community hub and is something that we should all be proud of. Currently embarrassed by it's condition

Desperately need updating.. no female showers at all. This is a hub for cricket, football junior and senior, Netball. Also schools athletics, sports etc.

All the money made from the caravan park do you get a percentage of money made ?

A much required investment to continue to encourage participation in team sports

Having used this facility as an umpire I must rate then as the worst rooms in Gippsland. They are in urgent need of restoration or replacement, especially with the increase of female umpires.

This project will be of great benefit to all the user groups of the reserve.

This sporting facility has serviced Lakes Entrance for many many years, and continues to do so. As a person with a physical disability I’d like to see these facilities upgraded to allow disabled access. This will be of great benefit to all of our community to bring diversity to the club and engaging more people with disabilities to participate in community sporting activities. Good luck!
