$8 Million Funding Secured for a Brand-new Artie Smith Oval
Shoalhaven City Council has secured $8 million to upgrade Artie Smith Oval in Bomaderry thanks to Stage 1 of the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund, co-funded by the Australian and NSW governments. The upgrade is part of Shoalhaven Community and Recreation Precinct (SCaRP) project in Bomaderry.
Council has allocated funding towards the delivery of this aspect of the project and to progress the planning and investigations for future stages of the broader SCaRP precinct.
Council has been working with the user groups and state sporting bodies to develop the plans for this great facility.
Council expects plans will go out to tender in late August with works to get underway late 2021. The project is expected to be completed by first half of 2023.
