The Nationals WA in Government will invest $750,000 to upgrade lighting at Premier Oval in Carnarvon, ensuring the facility meets the growing needs of the local sporting community.
Leader of The Nationals WA and Candidate for the Midwest, Shane Love MLA, said the current lighting is inadequate, limiting evening use and reducing opportunities for training and competition.
“Upgrading the lighting at Premier Oval will extend the hours this vital facility can be used, allowing more local teams and community groups to train, play, and enjoy sport well into the evening.”
“Investing in quality sporting infrastructure is an investment in the health and wellbeing of the community. This upgrade will provide first-class facilities, support local clubs, and ensure Carnarvon’s sporting community has the resources it needs to thrive.”
The Western Australian Football Commission has identified Premier Oval as one of the most critical projects in the region, highlighting the importance of this investment.
“This commitment demonstrates our dedication to building stronger regional communities by supporting grassroots sport,” Mr Love said.
“Sport plays a crucial role in bringing people together, and this upgrade will ensure Premier Oval remains a central hub for Carnarvon for years to come.”
