The Territory Government is investing $1 million to deliver a new all weather, multi-purpose facility at the Katherine Country Club.
The funding will enable construction of a UV-protected, rainproof cover over the Club’s recently upgraded synthetic bowling green.
The new facility will host a wide range of activities, from lawn bowls and yoga to school and youth programs, corporate functions and live performances, ensuring the space is used and enjoyed in every season.
Minister for People, Sport and Culture Jinson Charls, said the investment is “about building safe, active and inclusive communities, and making sure Territorians, especially in the regions, have access to quality sport and recreation facilities that support active, healthy lives at every age”.
“A covered, all-weather facility like this means the Katherine community can stay active and connected year-round, whether it’s through bowls, fitness programs, or events that bring people together, no matter the season.”
Katherine Country Club, Treasurer and Board member, Mal Trattles said “the Club is thrilled about this investment by the NT Government in lifestyle for the Katherine community’.
“This all-weather cover over the bowling green will be of benefit to the entire Katherine community,” he said.
