The Picton Sportsground Extension Multipurpose Amenities Building is progressing so well that it is almost complete. Earlier in the year, the slabs were poured, and piers and external footings were installed. Significant progress has been made, and credit goes to everyone involved in this important project for providing excellent amenities for sporting clubs and other community groups. This is part of a massive investment into parks and sports grounds right across the local government area of Wollondilly. This facility will benefit both local and visiting teams. It includes home-and-away change rooms, a club room, a multipurpose area with space for emergency services. There are improvements to the existing canteen, storage and referees' rooms, a first aid room, an outdoor barbecue area, spectator seating, and connection to town water. Picton Rangers Football Club secured two grants for the project including the 2019 Sports Election Commitment Program and the Summer Bushfire Recovery Grant. I am pleased that this funding was made available from both the NSW and Federal Governments. We're all looking forward to the facility's completion and many wonderful sporty seasons ahead!
