Delivering New Courts for Essendon Fields

A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will invest $15 million to deliver new basketball and netball courts at Essendon Fields.

We know there aren’t enough highball courts in the area.

Kids are being turned away.

That’s why Labor will back the local council and deliver $15 million towards the construction of a highball courts facility, so more kids can take up the sport they love.

The Keilor Basketball Association supports kids getting involved in basketball and netball – but they need more space.  This new facility will deliver just that.

Labor knows our local clubs provide a place where members, supporters and volunteers come together.

That’s why Labor is backing this new facility that will help people of all ages and abilities get involved in community sport.

Labor backs community sport.

A Liberal-One Nation Coalition Government would cut it.
