More Inclusive Facilities on the cards for Northcote City Football Club

A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will make Northcote City Football Club more inclusive and welcoming for women and girls.

We’ll invest $500,000 towards the delivery of female-friendly change rooms and bathrooms at John Cain Memorial Park in Thornbury.

Community sport is the lifeblood of so many suburbs, bringing families together through a shared love of sport.

Local clubs work hard to fundraise for their teams, and we will support their generosity by making sure their team is playing at the best grounds and spectators have a comfortable environment to watch and cheer.

That’s why the Labor Government is backing local sports clubs and families to deliver better sports grounds where they’re needed most. 

We have invested more than $1.6 billion to upgrade and improve local recreation reserves and sports grounds – making them better for local families.

We’ve delivered better courts and grounds, new scoreboards, lighting upgrades and changing facilities for clubs in every corner of the state.

Only a Labor Government will deliver more female-friendly change rooms and bathrooms for Northcote.
