3 Second netball court Story compliments of Seymour Telegraph State-of-the-Art Facilities July 17, The long-awaited female-friendly change rooms at Kings Park, complete with shower and toilet facilities, umpire space, a kiosk and a first-aid room, were officially opened on Friday. The facilities have been a long time coming for the 200-plus netballers who play and train at Kings Park. Until now, the only place to change was in cars or the park s toilets and any gear had to be left court side. Now netball players, officials and supporters have state-of-the-art facilities at the complex. The $444,927 project was jointly funded by Mitchell Shire Council ($302,000), the Victorian Government ($100,000) and the netball-football clubs and netball association which use the facility ($35,000). The change rooms have been one of the top priorities for Kings Park s Committee of Management for some time. The committee and clubs which use the facilities approached State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes in 2016 in the hope of making the dream a reality. Ms Symes said Labor s investment in the change rooms, combined with the second netball court at Kings Park, which was nearing completion, provided the infrastructure long needed at the facility. Labor recently kicked in $85,552 for a second netball court at the sports hub and we ve backed it up with two new female-friendly change rooms, Ms Symes said. These new change rooms will now provide players with the facilities they need to train and play the game they love. The change rooms will host a multitude of local clubs playing football and netball and make it easier for them to grow their memberships and schedule training and matches. This has been a real community effort, with the clubs, council and I working together to deliver this fantastic outcome for Seymour.

4 Mitchell Shire Mayor Rhonda Sanderson said Kings Park was highly used for the sport, with 14 senior and junior teams calling the courts home and netball played every night of the week at the complex. Until now, hundreds of netballers have had nowhere to prepare for training and game day and have had to line their bags up along the sides of the court and get changed in the public toilets or in cars, she said. Along with the new second netball court, which will be opened shortly, these new change room facilities will further enhance Kings Park as one of the most valued and versatile complexes in the region and will be a major boost for female sport and netball in Seymour.

Kings Park community canteen operates approximately 25 hours per week all day Saturday and Sunday and most Friday evenings throughout the year, with schools utilising it during the week for school sports events. The canteen space is also utilised during the annual agricultural show. Other user groups at the park could utilise the canteen during the year if it was more functional. The canteen has many original fixtures and fittings that are past their use by date and are fast approaching health, safety and hygiene concerns. The Seymour Football Netball Club is the appointed custodian of the Kings Park Community Centre and as such we see the importance of an upgrade to the facility for all user groups

6 particularly from an OH&S perspective. The community centre is home to a number of user groups including; the senior club which has four football teams and five netball teams, two junior football netball clubs consisting of four football and netball teams each, Seymour Little Athletics club with in excess of 100 members for the 2017/18 season. The community centre supports other not for profit groups during the year. Sponsors and deals worth mentioning Lets get behind the Railway Club Hotel during August to support our farming community who are doing it tough right now. Vale Mrs Aileen O Keefe The Seymour Football Netball Club is saddened by the passing of Mrs Aileen O Keefe. Our thoughts are with Mrs O Keefe s family and extended family, many of whom have been members and huge supporters of our club. Mrs O Keefe is survived by 9 children, 22 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren. On Saturday 21st July the SFNC players wore black arm bands in memory of Mrs O Keefe and in honour of her family.
