Change of Greenery for Traralgon Croquet ClubChange of greenery at Glenview Park. By Portal Admin - 21st July 2019 - Back to News It may be the middle of winter but there’s a spring in the step of Traralgon Croquet Club members as they enjoy a change of greenery at Glenview Park.
With the club’s former Breed Street base of 60 years being utilised as part of the $57 million Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre project, Latrobe City Council has facilitated a move to the Glenview Park sporting precinct through the Victorian Government’s $85 million Latrobe Valley Sports and Community Initiative administrated by Latrobe Valley Authority.
Without the support of the state government, the project would not have been able to proceed and Council is grateful for the investment in our community’s sporting future.
Latrobe City Mayor Graeme Middlemiss today joined Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing to officially open the new and improved Traralgon Croquet Club and tour the recently completed site.
The finished product includes lighting to enable evening play, a new clubhouse, car parking, pedestrian access and four grassed courts designed to maximise local usage and attract major competitions.
A number of local contractors were engaged to work on this build including RJ Low (building contractor), BuildEng (building design and engineer), Malady Electrical (electrician), Chris Larkin (plumbing), Evergreen turf (surfacing) and ReMarkable Fencing (fencing).
The new Traralgon Croquet Club will enhance the club’s capacity for growth into the future and complements the Traralgon Greyhound Club and Latrobe Valley Racing Club at the McNairn Road Sporting precinct.
