Member for Gilmore Fiona Phillips and Labor Senator Jenny McAllister have announced that $840,000 will be delivered for the Gerringong District All Sports Clubhouse at Gerry Emery Oval if Anthony Albanese retains government at the May 3 federal election.

The clubhouse is home to the Gerringong Breakers Football Club, the Gerringong Jets Cricket Club and the Gerringong Touch Association, who will all benefit from this upgrade.

The local community has already helped raise money for the project, which has contributed to the installation of dressing rooms for female athletes. This election commitment will help complete the upgrade of the clubhouse.

“I’m proud to be supporting the club house at Gerry Emery Oval in Gerringong,” Phillips said.

“I know how well used it is by local sports clubs and how strongly the community has been calling for this renovation.

“The community fundraised to help build female changerooms, which shows just how popular this facility is, and I am happy to be supporting this project further with this election commitment to help modernise the whole clubhouse.”

Liberal candidate Andrew Constance recently pledged the same amount for the clubhouse if Opposition Leader Peter Dutton were to be elected.
