Snowy Monaro Council has advised that work has begun on new sporting facilities, pathways and seating at Bombala Showground as part of stage one in the long-awaited Bombala Sporting Facilities Upgrade project.

The new cricket practice nets will provide local clubs and recreational enthusiasts of the summer game more options to get outside and practice getting bat on ball or toppling middle stump.

Three new spectator seating areas are set to be built to round out stage one of this project, linked together with accessible pathways to ensure friends, family, and fans of all ages and abilities can enjoy the game.

Co-funded by the Australian Government and NSW Government through the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund, this project will provide greater access to sporting and recreation opportunities for communities in the Bombala area.

Weather permitting, stage one is expected to be complete and ready to open to the public later this year.

Mayor Chris Hanna notes “Council is really excited to kick off another great sporting infrastructure project here in the Snowy Monaro.

“These facility upgrades at Bombala Showground are another big investment in the Bombala area and are really going to help people in this part of the region stay active, healthy, and connected as a community.

“We’ll be keeping the community updated as we make progress on delivering these new facilities.

“‘Council wishes to thank the Australian and NSW Governments for the grant funding that made this project possible.”
