This project represents an investment in sport and recreation facility in Inverloch and will create a high-quality multi-use cricket practice facility. This project will result in:

• four (4) club only and one (1) community access practice wicket with synthetic grass surface which meet Cricket Australia guidelines and Cricket practice wicket enclosure. Multi-use training facilities incorporating cricket practice nets are fast growing in popularity due to their flexible nature and capacity to accommodate a range of activities. They provide an essential facility for cricket practice but also seamlessly accommodating other training outside of cricket, such as kick-about space for soccer practice.

The total project cost is in the order of $400,000 with Council-adopted funding allocation of $300,000, which included funding support through the State Government’s Sport and Recreation Victoria’s Community Cricket Program ($100,000). In addition, The Inverloch Cricket Club, and the Inverloch Stars Soccer Club each will contribute $25,000 resulting in a Council receiving a total of $50,000 towards the completion of this project. Additional costs to meet the budget shortfall ($50,000) will be managed within Council’s Capital Works Program. Council acknowledges the significant contributions from both clubs.
