Sports centre gets off mark

29Mar07

A $10 million sports complex will be built at the University of Western Sydney Kingswood.

UWS Vice-Chancellor Professor Janice Reid said the new centre would serve the greater community as well as students and staff.

The centre will include indoor courts for netball, basketball and soccer, as well as a boxing ring, state-of-the-art gym facilities, exercise bikes and child minding facilities.

Outdoor practice nets for cricket, softball, netball and hockey in association with external sports fields are also proposed.

The Federal Government recently announced it will support the new centre with $4 million. Professor Reid said the university was ``delighted'' the Federal Government was making such a significant contribution towards the sports centre.

``I would like to thank the Federal Government and the Member for Lindsay, Jackie Kelly, for their support,'' Professor Reid said.

``This is good news for the university and, in particular, for the people in Penrith who will be able to use a state-of-the-art sports centre.''

The grant was awarded as part of the government's first round of Post Voluntary Student Unionism Transition Fund for Sporting and Recreational Facilities funding.

``This is a remarkable achievement for UWS considering the strong competition for funds and the focus on supporting universities in rural areas,'' Professor Reid said.

The university will now begin planning the new centre which is expected to be completed in 2009.
