Western Australia Sport and Recreation Minister David Templeman said: “Keeping local and regional communities healthy, strong and connected is a key priority for the McGowan Government.

“This investment will benefit the Harvey community and the greater South-West region, by allowing the centre to expand its sports programs and attract country and regional competitions.

“This is an exciting project that focuses on the principles of universal design to provide a sporting and recreation space that is welcoming and all-inclusive.”
