Don Road Recreation Reserve in Healesville is getting an upgraded community and sports pavilion after strong advocacy from Federal Member for Casey, Aaron Violi MP and the local community.
As one of Casey’s most popular recreation facilities, Don Road Recreation Reserve will receive $5,775,000 for a replacement multi-purpose community and sports pavilion complete with associated amenities to support the multiple sporting clubs, ovals, courts and exercise stations at the reserve.
Federal Member for Casey, Aaron Violi MP said he was pleased this funding has been secured for the Healesville community.
“Working alongside Yarra Ranges Council, I am pleased this federal funding has been secured and will deliver upgraded facilities at Don Road Recreation Reserve,” he said.
“This upgrade is much needed to support Healesville’s growing population and will allow current and future generations to continue to enjoy the benefits of sport.
President of Healesville Football Club, Toby Millman said this upgrade will accommodate the growing Healesville sports teams.
