Inverloch Bowls Club proactive approach achieves facility upgrades

Bass Coast Shire Council has commended the Inverloch Bowls Club for their proactive approach in achieving significant upgrades noting the club “has set a shining example of excellence in community sports infrastructure with recent upgrades to their facilities, including new greens and an upgraded pavilion.”

The club is also embarking on installing new lights to ensure the local community can enjoy night-time play.

This development is a result of a collaborative effort between the Inverloch Bowls Club and Bass Coast Shire Council, who together submitted an application through Sport and Recreation Victoria for the lights. The club took the lead in driving the project through its construction stage, showcasing the dedication of its passionate committee members who volunteered their time and services.

The total construction cost for this project was approximately $148,000. This funding was secured through a grant of $104,000 from the Victorian Government Community Sports Lighting Stream, along with a $44,000 contribution from the club itself.

Bass Coast Shire Mayor Clare Le Serve offered congratulations to “the club for advocating and delivering this project, thank you to Jordan Crugnale and the Victorian Government for your investment into our local community groups, and finally thank you particularly to John Sutcliffe and Terry Seaward who have been pivotal in ensuring the club’s long-term sustainability and establishing a strong community interest in the sport – a great effort.”

The club looks forward to welcoming members and visitors to enjoy the enhanced playing experience provided by the new lights.
