An elected Coalition Government will provide $500,000 to an upgrade of Kings Park in Seymour, to cater for future growth in AFL participation and to improve facilities for major events.

Federal Member for Nicholls Sam Birrell said Mitchell Shire Council will contribute $150,000 towards the project.

“This funding will upgrade the second oval at Kings Park and install AFL standard lighting which will provide a significantly improved facility for junior football,” Mr Birrell said.

“Kings Park is a great facility which hosts many user groups and major events such as the Seymour Alternative Farming Expo and Seymour Agricultural and Pastoral Show. This major upgrade will benefit all user groups.”

Kings Park was severely impacted by the October 2022 floods and The Nationals will continue to support the Seymour community to come back stronger and better.

“We understand that regional communities need investment to continue to thrive,” Mr Birrell said.

“The Albanese government has under-invested in regional infrastructure over the past three years, we need a Coalition Government to restore critical funding for regional communities like Seymour.”

This commitment is part of the Coalition’s plan to strengthen our local communities and get our country Back on Track.
