The Chisholm Park Motor Sports complex will be the recipients of a $2 million development grant from the Liberal Nationals Coalition’s $1 billion Regional Growth Fund if it is elected to government at the November 27 poll according to sitting Member for Swan Hill, Peter Walsh.
“Leader of the Victorian Nationals, Peter Ryan, and myself recently met with representatives of the motor sports club and viewed first hand the development that has taken place and the plans for the future of the complex,” Mr Walsh said.
“The community and voluntary input which has driven the complex to the stage it is now at is one of the most impressive features of the Reserve.
“The fact that there is such a high community involvement has been instrumental in me being able to achieve the substantial $2 million commitment from the Liberal Nationals Coalition.
“The funds will enable an immediate start to work that will be recommended in the soon to be released Development Plan for the complex.
“Events at the Chisholm Park complex attract thousands of enthusiasts every time they are held with the vast majority of these being from out of town resulting in an enormous economic benefit to Swan Hill.
“This is a great resource for the region and is a result of the drive and commitment that people throughout northern Victoria show when developing projects and programs for their communities,” Mr Walsh said.
“The Liberal Nationals Coalition are committed to the social and economic development of regional community projects and I am very pleased that this funding commitment will go a long way to ensuring the enjoyment of those using the Chisholm Park complex continues to grow,” he said.
