THE HON KRISTY MCBAIN MP
MEMBER FOR EDEN-MONARO

A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will provide $370,000 towards infrastructure upgrades at David Campese Oval, the home of the Queanbeyan Whites.

This election commitment will support the delivery of critical upgrades at the ground, including fencing the perimeter of the oval and nets.

Rugby Australia recently completed a national infrastructure audit, identifying the Queanbeyan Whites as the sole premier club in our region without an enclosed facility, a requirement soon to be mandated for Tier 1 competitions.

This project is not only vital for the Queanbeyan Whites, but an enclosed field would also enable the venue to host finals, regional tournaments, talent camps and elite pathway programs.

This would be a boon for local businesses, with a significant influx of patrons expected to visit the town regularly to attend and participate in these events.

The Albanese Government is delivering the Bungendore Sports Hub and the women’s changerooms at Freebody Oval, and if re-elected will deliver this crucial project at David Campese Oval – we are absolutely committed to upgrading our local sporting facilities.

Quotes attributable to Member for Eden-Monaro, Kristy McBain:

“This funding will be a game-changer for the Whites – and I’m proud to be backing them in for the win.

“I’m working hard to deliver the community infrastructure upgrades Eden-Monaro deserves.

“Congratulations to the Queanbeyan Whites and its volunteers on their longstanding campaign for funding – I look forward to seeing them continue to kick goals.”

Quotes attributable to Queanbeyan Whites Club President Luke Cochrane:

“The Whites community have been seeking to enclose our oval for a number of years.

“Enclosing the oval will allow the Club to continue to build on our reputation for excellence and to provide a first class facility for our community and the region.

“We are extremely grateful to Kristy McBain for supporting this project.”
