The Regional Athletics Track Mingara Recreation Club has a new surface and it looks great ๐
So pleased to be part of the community effort ๐ช๐ป which has seen this important facility receive a new grandstand and new track surface since I was elected in 2015 ๐๐ฅ
Thanks to my Labor colleagues David Harris MP, Liesl Tesch MP and Yasmin Catley MP who contributed funds to the project.
Thank you also to Margaret Beardslee and the team from Mingara Athletics Club who started it all. Big acknowledgment to Sarah Ferman of Mingara Recreation Club who has driven the build.

Great work the Entrance Leagues Club!
Today we officially opened the new grandstand at the EDSACC grounds.
Designed and built by local firms it looks great! Iโm proud to have been involved in early planning of this project and getting it the attention it deserved.
Well done all!
