Members of the community consultative committee for the Stronger Communities Program met on 7 September to independently assess the allocation of $150,000 in funding for proposed community projects within Moore. I am pleased that the committee recommended a federal funding contribution towards the upgrade of the Sorrento bowling clubrooms, part of the $1.4 million upgrade works project at Percy Doyle Reserve in Duncraig that includes refurbishment of Mildenhall, the Sorrento tennis clubrooms and the Duncraig leisure centre and the extension of the Sorrento bowling clubrooms and utilities upgrades.

This major refurbishment of ageing sporting and recreational facilities by the City of Joondalup is very much needed by our local community in order to accommodate the growth in the number of patrons using the popular recreational precinct. It is encouraging that the federal government is making this and a number of funding contributions to local governments, cooperatively delivering quality recreational amenities and facilities for the benefit of our local community. I thank Mayor Albert Jacob, Councillor Sophie Dwyer and Councillor Russ Fishwick for their support for this project.
