On September 16 Federal Member for Gilmore Fiona Phillips met with Kiama District Sports Association President Craig Scott and Secretary John Dawson to discuss future upgrades to the Kiama Sports Complex.

Kiama Council was recently awarded a federal grant under the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program to support the renovation of this important facility.

“With over 3,000 players plus school groups using the Kiama Sports Complex, there is no doubt that it is a much loved and utilised facility, however it is in dire need of an upgrade,” says Phillips.

The upgrades are now awaiting the appointment of the new Kiama Council so that they can work out the masterplan for the future of the complex

“I look forward to working with the new Kiama Council, Kiama District Sports Association and community, to progress the masterplan and proceed to a shovel-ready project that can obtain further grant funding,” says Phillips.

The Kiama Sports Complex is home to a wide range of activities, including Little Athletics, cricket, soccer, Oztag, netball, and features a skatepark and the Kiama Leisure Centre.
