What is the project?
The department's Round 2 funded projects list describes it this way:
The project will enhance the Tomaree Sports Complex through the expansion of the existing playing surfaces into full-sized rectangular fields to accommodate multi- codes, improving lighting, drainage and irrigation, and fencing, as well as construction of a new carpark, and development of a pedestrian sports walk pathway thought the centre of the complex to connect all playing surfaces.
Applicant, location, state and funding are also from that list (page 3).
