One of Hobart’s most used cricket and football grounds is set to receive a significant upgrade to its ageing facilities.
The Tasmanian Cricket Association Ground, at Queens Domain, is used by hundreds of players from the Hobart Football Club, DOSA Football Club and North Hobart Cricket Club.
Minister for Sports and Events, Nick Duigan, said upgrades to the 1970s build were much needed to ensure accessibility for all players.
“The Tasmanian Government has committed $150,000 to the Hobart Football Club to deliver amenity upgrades at the TCA Ground as part of our 2030 Strong Plan to Tasmania’s Future,” Minister Duigan said.
“The funding will enable the development of modern amenities to support increasing female and male participation at both senior and junior player levels.
“The project upgrades include separate ambulant toilets and modern unisex toilets and showers, as well as installation of new hot water services, hand basins and mechanical ventilation.
“I’m pleased to say that work on the TCA Ground has commenced on the design and planning phase, and construction is ready to commence once the statutory permits are received.
“I look forward to seeing the new, best practice facilities that will foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for all players.”
The Tasmanian Government knows how incredibly important our sporting and community groups are in bringing our communities together and connecting Tasmanians.
“We are ensuring Tasmanians have access to more and more sporting and wellbeing opportunities than ever before by upgrading and improving over 100 sporting and community clubs right across the State,” Minister Duigan said.
