Serpentine and Mitiamo recreation reserves floodlighting upgrade

Published on 28 June 2022

Loddon Shire Council has welcomed funding of $200,000 from the Victorian Government’s Country Football and Netball Funding Program towards lighting upgrades at the Serpentine Recreation Reserve and Mitiamo Recreation Reserve.

Delivered through Sport and Recreation Victoria, the funding will contribute to the Floodlighting Upgrade Project, which will see the Serpentine and Mitiamo recreation reserves receive new fit-for-purpose light towers and sustainable LED floodlighting.

Loddon Shire Mayor Dan Straub welcomed the funding towards the project.

“This funding, which is in addition to a contribution from the Federal Government through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, is crucial in helping deliver this project for our communities,” Cr Straub said.

“It will result in a significant upgrade to the standard of lighting available for training at the Serpentine and Mitiamo recreation reserves.

“The new lighting will also provide the opportunity for further activation opportunities at these reserves for the community and users,” Cr Straub added.

“I’d like to thank the Victorian Government for this funding contribution, which helps ensure this project can be delivered.”

The Loddon Shire is committed to investing in sport and recreation across the region, which prioritises infrastructure that supports our social and economic needs.

The floodlighting upgrade project aligns with Council’s strategy of maintaining sports and recreation and open public spaces to promote access and participation.
