Good news for Yanchep Clubs
Published Wednesday, 15th October 2014
Yanchep sporting clubs will not be asked to contribute funds for the extension of the Oldham Park change rooms following a decision by Wanneroo Council.
Mayor Tracey Roberts said Council supported City administration's recommendation that a financial contribution should not be sought from the benefiting clubs, including the Yanchep Districts Junior Football Club, Yanchep Red Hawks Cricket Club, Yanchep Red Hawks Football Club and Yanchep Little Athletics Club.
"Council's resolution recognises and supports the important role of sporting clubs within our community," Mayor Roberts said.
"Clubs provide invaluable service to the local community, engaging with our youth, providing volunteering opportunities, being excellent role models and helping to develop good values and team spirit."
Mayor Roberts said the City had applied to the Department of Sport and Recreation for a funding grant of $100,000 to go towards the project, which had an estimated completion date of December 2015.
