Fans of Wyndham Vale Falcons Football Club and Wyndham Vale Cricket Club can keep up with all the latest action, thanks to a new LED scoreboard at their home ground at Wyndham Vale South Reserve. Member for Werribee Tim Pallas today joined Wyndham City Council and club representatives to officially launch the new scoreboard and other improvements at the reserve, made possible by a $200,000 investment from the Allan Labor Government. Sport is the lifeblood of growing communities like Wyndham Vale and the new scoreboard provides a great new way for fans of the local game to engage with sport. The new LED scoreboard adds a whole new dimension to the player and fan experience at the ground, providing clubs and future champions the chance to showcase their achievements on the big screen. There’s also an opportunity for local community groups and businesses to take advantage of the scoreboard to broadcast local initiatives, upcoming events and promotions. The project also included the installation of a new storage shed. The Victorian Government has invested more than $2.3 billion in community sport and active recreation infrastructure over the past decade.
The Victorian Budget 2024/25 is also providing more than $23 million to continue delivery of community sport and active recreation infrastructure and programs to increase participation opportunities and improve accessibility.
Investments like these are all about creating jobs, stimulating local economies, levelling the playing field and improving the health, wellbeing, and social outcomes for Victorian communities.
