“We’re really grateful for this additional funding and excited to see the new pavilion progressing,” Shepparton Youth Club United Cricket Club president Steven Nash said.

The pavilion is being redeveloped after it was demolished due to significant damage caused by the October 2022 floods.

“It has been challenging operating without permanent clubrooms and facilities,” Mr Nash said.

The project has already received $50,000 from AFL Victoria and significant financial contributions from sports clubs based at Princess Park.

The additional money comes from The Australian Cricket Infrastructure Fund, a competitive funding process that is open to clubs and local governments in Victoria and supports the delivery of major infrastructure.

City of Greater Shepparton Mayor Geoff Akers praised the funding as a positive outcome for the community.

“This funding is another important step forward for the WB Hunter Pavilion redevelopment and demonstrates the value of strong partnerships between council, sporting organisations and our community,” Cr Akers said.

Council expects that the pavilion will be completed towards the end of this year.
