OUR NEW PAVILION'S ON THE WAY
The Moonee Valley Cricket Club is to get a new $2 million pavilion, following a decision by the Moonee Valley Council on Tuesday, May 24.
Cr Nicole Marshall advised MVCC President Charlie Walker and Moonee Valley Football Club President Steve Radford of the big decision within hours of it being approved by Council.
It's the culmination of years of advocacy and lobbying by both clubs, as the present Ormond Park pavilion is outdated, shabby, too small and not fit for purpose.
Charlie was quick to thank Cr Marshall (left) for her advocacy on our behalf, along with fellow ward councillor Jim Cusack.
Cricket, football club and sporting club representatives gave Cr Marshall and Cr Cusack and Council officers a tour of the pavilion during our last season, pointing out a range of shortcomings.
"We have allocated $2 million in the budget for the design and build of the Ormond Park Pavilion in the 16/17 financial year," Cr Marshall advised Charlie Walker.
"Thank you very much for inviting me down to the pavilion for the visit. I didn't appreciate just how bad the condition of the facilities was.
"My only regret was that I didn't come down earlier and that you have had to wait so long for this rebuild."
Again, our thanks go to Cr Nicole Marshall and Cr Jim Cusack for piloting this major project through Council.
