Bairnsdale City Oval and Lindenow South Recreation Reserve receive funding for community cricket infrastructure improvements
Bairnsdale City Oval and Lindenow South Recreation Reserve received grants to improve cricket infrastructure, benefiting local clubs and supporting grassroots participation in East Gippsland's cricket community.
Bairnsdale City Oval and Lindenow South Recreation Reserve have received grant funding to enhance community cricket infrastructure, thanks to the support of the Australian Cricket Infrastructure Fund. State Member for Gippsland East and cricket tragic, Tim Bull, said this is a fantastic outcome for the successful clubs and a great investment in grassroots participation. "While two facilities were directly funded, the entire Bairnsdale Cricket Association will benefit from these upgrades," Mr Bull said.

Cricket facility upgrades
The Bairnsdale City Oval, home of West Bairnsdale Cricket Club, will see its five-turf wicket square refurbished. Meanwhile, Lindenow South Cricket Club will receive funding to upgrade its synthetic training nets.
"By helping clubs modernise their facilities, we're enabling local communities to cater for even more people keen to get involved in cricket. We know East Gippsland bats above its average in producing cricket talent, with many going on to play at representative levels," Mr Bull said.
With the success of the women's cricket competition starting last season, Mr Bull said it is great to see the sport is growing in this area. "This program supports projects that attract and grow involvement in cricket by providing safe, accessible, and welcoming playing and training environments that are fit for purpose," Mr Bull said.
