Brimbank Mayor Ranka Rasic was joined by Luba Grigorovitch MP, Member for Kororoit, for the official opening of the upgraded Sassella Park Tennis Court lighting and management system. Mayor Rasic said,
“It’s great to see everyone here today to celebrate the opening of the upgraded Sassella Park Tennis court lighting and management system. This new lighting is one of a host of facilities being completed recently with a focus on lighting to increase the capacity on sportsground to allow more people to participate in sport.”
The upgraded lighting will give the community access to the required facilities to play competition sport at the facility all year round. Other recent lighting projects include Keilor Lodge Pitch 1 and Keilor Park Ovals 2 & 4 which were both funded projects with the State Government.
The management system upgrade means using the ‘Book a Court’ system which will make it easier for the community to access the facility when club volunteers are not onsite to open up.
These improvements mean more people will be able to access and use the tennis courts, bringing people together to play sport.
These upgrades cost a total of $303,565. With the project receiving $151,782 from the State Government and Council contributing the same amount.
