- Cook
Labor Government invests $1 million to transform Comet Bay Bowling Club
- Covered
greens support year-round bowls and membership growth
- Part of
the Cook Labor Government's commitment to promote active healthy lifestyles
A new
all-weather roof and upgraded bowling surface has been delivered at Comet Bay
Bowling Club, providing a major boost for community sport in Singleton.
Backed
by a $1 million Cook Labor Government 2025 election commitment, the project has
transformed the club's main bowling greens into a year-round playing surface
protected by a purpose-built roof.
The
upgrades will enable bowlers to participate regardless of weather conditions,
improving player comfort and safety throughout the year.
The
new undercover facility will also provide a flexible space for a range of
events and activities beyond lawn bowls, strengthening the club's role as a
local community hub while encouraging greater participation, connection, and
membership growth in the years ahead.
The
project forms part of the Cook Labor Government's PlayOn WA initiative, helping
deliver 2,030 community sport and recreation infrastructure items across WA by
2030.
Comments attributed to Sport and Recreation Minister Rita Saffioti:
"The Cook Labor Government is committed to
investing in quality community sporting infrastructure that encourages more
people to be active, stay connected, and participate in local sport.
"This is a fantastic investment that will
allow club members to enjoy their sport all year round in a safe and
comfortable environment.
"As communities grow, it's
important that they have the sporting facilities they need to thrive, and this
investment ensures that the Comet Bay Bowling Club remains a valued community
hub for years to come."
