Major investments into community sport and infrastructure have been designed to help drive a post-COVID recovery in Division 4.

Councillor Jodie Shipway said sporting fields, road upgrades and new pathways were the key projects delivered as part of this year’s Budget.

“A massive $8.5 million will be allocated to the first stage of the Griffin Sports Complex development, which is scheduled for completion by the end of next year,” Cr Shipway said.

“The total project is worth $15 million and includes the construction of a new access off Henry Road, car parking spaces, two multipurpose fields, club house, amenities, field lighting and irrigation.

“I’m thrilled that local families will have another state-of-the-art sporting facility at their doorstep here in Griffin.

“The project also plays a vital role in boosting the economy and supporting local jobs, especially as we recover from the impacts of COVID-19.

“Around our area we’ll be investing $7.8 million into road upgrades to ensure our infrastructure keeps pace with population growth in Division 4.

“Council will also allocate $5 million to the reconstruction of Henry Road and Dohles Rocks road with the Federal Government providing $4 million in support toward the project.

“Along with the delivery of renewed roads, Council will provide $1.3 million for new footpaths around Division 4.

“During the coronavirus pandemic, the community made it very clear how important it was to them to be able to get out and about to exercise and enjoy the outdoors.

“New footpaths will allow residents to enjoy walking or riding around their neighbourhood, which will be great for health and wellbeing.”
