Funding secured for Multipurpose Stadium

Published on 30 June 2021

Moira Shire Council has been successful in securing $2 million from Victorian State Government’s 2021 Local Sports Infrastructure Fund towards the construction of the Yarrawonga Multisport Stadium.

Mayor Libro Mustica said this funding had been earmarked to help deliver Stage 1 of the stadium.

“We are still pursuing additional grant opportunities through the Federal Government and are optimistic in securing further funding,” Cr Mustica said.

“Hopefully, we will have the funding mix wrapped up in the next few months.

“We would anticipate the construction of the new Yarrawonga Library will get underway in coming months, with work on the new stadium to commence shortly after.”

Cr Mustica said the Multisport Stadium would include two multi-use courts, four unisex accessible change rooms including accessible amenities, as well as multi-purpose rooms.

“An expansion area for an additional two courts is proposed as the town grows and there is a concept plan showing how an aquatic facility can be added to the stadium in the future.”
