Bass Coast Shire Council is excited to announce the completion of new toilet facilities, including DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) compliant access, at the Corinella Bowling Club. The project, fully funded by council at $428,000, is part of an initiative to renew community facilities across the Bass Coast Shire to ensure they are inclusive and accessible to all. These projects are vital for fostering social health and well-being for all residents.

Bass Coast Mayor, Cr Clare LeServe, CEO Greg Box, and council officers in delivering this project gathered with the club and representatives Steve Bray and Barbara Oats to celebrate the importance of accessible community spaces

Accessible community upgrade

The upgrade included the demolition of part of the existing building and extending the floor area to accommodate the new facilities. Bass Coast Mayor, Cr Clare Le Serve, CEO Greg Box and council officers involved in delivering this project of the new facilities officially handed over the project to club representatives Steve Bray and Barbara Oats, as well as a contingent of members who were excited to be able to enjoy their new space.

Mayor Le Serve highlighted the importance of accessible community spaces, stating, "This upgrade not only improves the facilities at the Corinella Bowling Club but also reflects our commitment to creating inclusive, welcoming environments for all members of our community."

The addition of these new accessible facilities underscores council's dedication to enhancing community health and well-being. Recreational activities, like lawn bowling, play a crucial role in fostering physical activity, social interaction, and mental health. Ensuring that community spaces are accessible to everyone means more residents can participate in these enriching activities, promoting a healthier, more connected community.
