It only takes 5 minutes to register and vote!!

 

For many years now the Officer Rec Reserve Committee has been working on and campaigning to build new and improved rooms at Starling Road to better meet the growing needs of the sports clubs and community groups that currently use the facility with parts built in 1972 and 1983.

​

As our neighbours in Pakenham, Beaconsfield and Berwick have improved their facilities over the years it’s time for us to do the same.

 

Our football, cricket, netball, reserve committee and community groups are committing over $200,000 of their own money to the project.  That’s a lot of raffles, sausage sizzles and fund raising.  It’s not enough though – we need additional funds and this can help us.

 

Pick my Project is a new Victorian Government grants initiative to provide funding to project across regional and metro communities.  We urgently need our members, families and friends of our clubs and community groups to vote and get us over the line.
