Sunbury United Sporting Club is to build a children’s play area and an extension to its premises to host events at the Mitchells Ln venue.
Club president Nat Perri says it is the club’s “biggest drive to date” in renovating the council-owned space.
“The new extension will allow the club to accommodate the ever-increasing number of new patrons attending and wanting to enjoy our facilities, and what we have to offer,” he says via a Hume City Council press release.
Mayor Naim Kurt.
“The addition of a new kids’ play area for families, along with our enclosed pergola area, and our W-Class Tram [mean] we will be able to cater to a variety of patrons.”
Hume City mayor Naim Kurt says the club’s decision is a “…win for the Hume community and council’s ongoing efforts to reduce gambling harm”. However, the club only has 40 machines on its premises.
