Football Queensland has welcomed Nigel Dalton’s announcement of an $800,000 funding commitment to upgrade the carpark at Mackay Football Park should the LNP be elected in November.
Following the release of Football Queensland’s 2024 – 2026 Infrastructure Strategy in August, the upgrade of the carpark would deliver on an important component of FQ’s Mackay Football Park Master Plan and deliver significant benefits to members of the Whitsunday Coast football community.
“As we continue advocating for infrastructure funding as part of Football Queensland’s statewide #EQUALISER initiative, investment in football facilities like Mackay Football Park plays a crucial role in supporting the ongoing growth of the game as the state’s largest participation sport,” FQ CEO Robert Cavallucci said.
“The #EQUALISER initiative highlights the critical need for greater investment in football infrastructure to support the growing demands of the game, and Football Queensland remains committed to working with all levels of government to achieve strong outcomes for our football clubs and participants across the state.”
“Football Queensland welcomes the announcement by Nigel Dalton of an $800,000 funding commitment to upgrade the carpark at Mackay Football Park,” FQ General Manager – Northern Region Craig Ramage said.
“With almost 3,400 members of the local football community visiting Mackay Football Park each week, an upgrade of the carpark will deliver significant benefits to our Whitsunday Coast participants and their families and help us improve the football experience for everyone involved in our beautiful game.”
Football Queensland’s State Election #EQUALISER Campaign continues to drive advocacy for football, community football infrastructure and facility investments from candidates in every electorate. We are pleased to see our messaging, along with the efforts of our clubs, being recognised. Football Queensland welcomes commitments from all parties and will continue to advocate for football as the state’s largest participation sport.
