Hanging Rock Sporting Complex Field 3 Upgrade
This morning the Eurobodalla Mayor was joined by Member for Bega Dr Michael Holland, local sporting representatives and project stakeholders to celebrate the completion of the works at the Hanging Rock Sporting Complex Field 3.
The Hanging Rock Sporting Complex Field 3 Upgrade is a $2.59 million investment in community sport and recreation at Batemans Bay’s premier sporting precinct.
Delivered by Eurobodalla Shire Council with $2.387 million from the NSW Government’s Multi Sport Community Facility Fund and $200,000 from Council, the project has transformed Field 3 into a modern multi-sport facility supporting football, AFL, cricket and athletics.
Key improvements include a new playing field, modern amenities building with four unisex change rooms, upgraded irrigation and sporting infrastructure, energy-efficient LED field lighting, improved accessibility, spectator seating, a storage shed and a concrete cricket pitch.
Dr Michael Holland MP said “Sport brings our communities together, and this upgrade at Hanging Rock is a great example of what can be achieved when we invest in the places where people live, play and connect.
For local clubs and families, these upgrades mean better facilities to train, compete and enjoy sport, whether you’re on the field or cheering from the sidelines.
It’s particularly pleasing to see an expanded multi-sport playing surface, improved lighting, irrigation and new changerooms delivered for the Batemans Bay community.
This is an investment in grassroots sport, but it’s also an investment in community connection, participation and the health and wellbeing of people across the Eurobodalla.
I’m proud to have supported this project and to see the NSW Government’s investment delivering a facility that will serve local sporting clubs and the broader community for many years to come.”
