After many years of advocacy, planning and business case development by the City, we are really excited to see the announcement that the Cook Labor Government, if re-elected, will commit $20 million to fund the Armadale Regional Recreation Reserve (ARRR).
Mayor Ruth Butterfield said: “The City of Armadale is delighted to see the commitment from the Cook Government of $20M toward the ARRR, which will address the significant shortfall of hard court facilities available to our residents.
“So many of our kids have been missing out on playing netball and basketball, and with such a rapidly growing population the gap will continue to widen. This development will be an absolute game changer with families not having to transport their children long distances to play.
“Stage 1A will include an initial six indoor and 10 outdoor multi-purpose courts, an office, changerooms and toilets, kitchen, car parking and lighting.”
The construction of Stage 1A of the ARRR is contingent on receiving matching funds from the Federal Government, so we will continue to lobby for a contribution to delivering this essential community infrastructure.
The ARRR is a proposed multi-stage development set to be the future regional facility for local sporting and community clubs to service the growing population of Armadale and Perth’s metropolitan South East corridor.
