AMENITIES UPGRADE DELIVERED FOR DUDLEY’S LYDON OVAL

June 17, 2024

The Albanese Labor Government has delivered on its election commitment to upgrade Dudley Redhead United Seniors Soccer Club’s amenities at Lydon Oval.

The $324,637 project has upgraded the existing aging facilities to provide a safe and welcoming environment for players and spectators.

This will make a real difference for our community, helping to increase female player participation and improving accessibility for all.

The project was made possible thanks to the Albanese Labor Government’s election commitment of $320,000, delivered under the Investing in Our Communities Program.

Under this program, the Government is delivering community and sporting infrastructure, open space improvements and other community priorities nationwide intended to assist communities to build their strengths and improve liveability.
