The NSW Government will shine a light on Kiama Power by investing in lighting upgrades that will boost the club’s entire operation.
The Minns Labor Government has committed $275,000 to deliver new lighting to Bonaira Oval which will expand our ability to train, compete, and connect both female and male players in a safe and sustainable way.
NSW Minister for Sport Steve Kamper was joined by Katelin McInerney – Labor candidate for the upcoming Kiama by-election – along with Power players and officials, and AFL South Coast representatives, to deliver the news at Bonaira Oval this afternoon.
Late last year, we held a review of our facilities at Bonaira Oval, requesting new ideas and areas requiring improvement.
A trending concern across a majority of stakeholders – in both the junior and senior clubs – highlighted the need for better lighting at our home ground.
The installation of 150 lux LED lighting will improve visibility on the field during competition and training at Bonaira Oval – providing a safer environment for football and keeping up with current community AFL venue standards.
The funding is part of the Government’s investment of over a million dollars in community sporting organisations across the Kiama region as part of ongoing work to boost participation and deliver fit for purpose facilities.
