24th August, 2013
Federal Member for Wide Bay, Warren Truss, today announced that an incoming Federal Liberal National Government will provide up to $150,000 to upgrade lighting at the Maryborough & District Hockey grounds.“A Liberal Nationals Coalition Government will support local hockey players and other sporting teams, by upgrading lighting at the field to Australian Standards,” Mr Truss said.
“This will enable the members from lower divisions to train under lights, improving their skills and their ability to compete.
“Other sports will also benefit from this commitment, including Sunbury Soccer and Oz Tag Teams.”
Mr Truss said Maryborough has a proud history of producing elite hockey professionals.
“Hockey has a very strong following in Maryborough and six Olympic hockey players have come from Maryborough.
“I hope that this commitment will help to promote interest in hockey and provide more opportunities for players to improve their skills.
“This will help Maryborough continue its strong tradition of supplying world class athletes.”
