The Victorian Government’s funding of flood infrastructure funding is continuing with a number of projects being targeted in Charlton according to local Member, Peter Walsh.
The $30 million Flood Recovery Community Infrastructure Fund has recently distributed a further round of funding totalling $522,954 to restore several community facilities to their pre-flood usable condition.
“This latest grant will enable major repairs to be made to facilities at Charlton Park and Gordon park,” Mr Walsh said today.
“Essential repairs to the football club social rooms, fencing and seating, replacement of the netball courts and repairs to the tennis clubrooms are all being targeted.
“Repair and replacement works at the pool in Gordon Park are also being attended to with this latest round of funding,” Mr Walsh said.
“Along with $37,671 worth of works at the Donald Recreation reserve, these projects continue to benefit from the Government’s flood recovery funding program which is aimed at restoring many of the community infrastructure sites damaged during the floods.
“The Government sees these works as essential to restoring community cohesiveness and we will continue to work closely with local communities in ensuring flood recovery projects are carried out as quickly as possible,” he said.
