 Deputy Premier and Minister for Victoria Communities John Thwaites today launched Labor’s commitments for the people of the northern suburbs at Montmorency Park.

 State Member for Eltham, Steve Herbert MP said Labor was building on their strong record in the area, and had pledged to continue to build better facilities and improve local communities.

 Mr Herbert welcomed $200,000 in funding towards improving the Montmorency Park clubrooms.

 “Labor recognizes that this is an important sports facility for the Montmorency community which has suffered from white ant damage and old age,’ Mr Herbert said.

 “The clubrooms are home to the Montmorency Pythons Cricket Club and the Montmorency Magpies Football Club, which fields a division one team in the Diamond Valley Football League.

 “These clubrooms are home to some of the most successful sporting teams in the area and their rooms are in urgent need of repair and refurbishment.

 “Despite the clubs having thriving memberships, the condition of the clubrooms has remained sadly substandard. This project will come as a huge boost to Montmorency Cricket and Football Clubs…”
