soccer in the Macedon Ranges is set to benefit from a significant funding boost as part of the state government’s Regional Community sports Infrastructure Fund. Community Sports Minister Ros Spence announced that 41 new projects across the region will share nearly $24 million in the latest funding round. The Macedon Ranges council will receive $40,000 to plan the redevelopment of Romsey Park Sports Precinct Oval Two, which includes upgrading the playing surface, drainage, irrigation, and installing LED sports lighting. This oval supports various local sports, including little athletics, junior football, and junior cricket, and serves as home to the Macedon Ranges Soccer Club. Local leaders, including Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas, have praised the initiative for enhancing community sports facilities and promoting increased participation. Overall, the fund demonstrates a substantial commitment to improving sports infrastructure in regional Victoria, with over $2.4 billion invested to date.
