Kyogle’s rugby league players and visiting teams now have access to new toilets and a new dressing room after an upgrade of Kyogle Rugby League Club’s facilities, Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan said today.
“These new facilities had been on the club’s wishlist for a while so when they mentioned them to me I organised a Building Stronger Communities grant,” he said.
“The Kyogle New Park Grounds is currently used by about 400 players in the Kyogle Senior and Junior Rugby League clubs, Kyogle Touch Association, Little League and several other organisations.
“The new change rooms and toilets mean the club can now also be part of the newly created Northern Rivers Womens League Tag competition.
“This is a terrific result and I would like to congratulate the club and all those involved in this upgrade of facilities.”
Club president Simon Tough said the upgraded facilities were “great for local families”.
“The old toilets and dressing rooms were run down and difficult to clean. The new facilities are also much more secure,” he said.
“We wanted these new facilities for a long time but didn’t have the funds. I would like to thank Kevin Hogan who made sure this grant was successful.”
