Labor Member for Gilmore Fiona Phillips today welcomed Senator for NSW Jenny McAllister to announce that a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will deliver $840,000 for the Gerringong District All Sports Clubhouse at Gerry Emery Oval.

The clubhouse is home to the Gerringong Breakers Football Club, the Gerringong Jets Cricket Club and the Gerringong Touch Association, who will all benefit from this upgrade.

The local community has already helped raise money for the project, which has contributed to the installation of dressing rooms for female athletes.  This election commitment will help complete the upgrade of the clubhouse.

Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.

Quotes attributable to Member for Gilmore Fiona Phillips MP:

“I’m proud to be supporting the club house at Gerry Emery Oval in Gerringong.

“I know how well used it is by local sports clubs and how strongly the community has been calling for this renovation.

“The community fundraised to help build female changerooms, which shows just how popular this facility is, and I am happy to be supporting this project further with this election commitment to help modernise the whole club house.”
