WALLY TEW RESERVE TRANSFORMATION OPENS NEW ERA FOR LOCAL SPORT
Community football and cricket in Ferntree Gully have a new home ground advantage with the completion of the Wally Tew Reserve pavilion transformation.
Member for Monbulk Daniela De Martino today joined the Ferntree Gully Blues Cricket Club at its Pink Fundraising Day to officially open the upgrades, made possible by a 20 million to support the development of high-quality, accessible community sports infrastructure across the state, including through the Local Sports Infrastructure Fund.
This brings the Victorian Government's investment in community sport and active recreation infrastructure to more than 1.2 million contribution and commitment to delivering the project, as well as acknowledging the Ferntree Gully Cricket Club and Ferntree Gully Eagles Football Netball Club who contributed almost $38,000 each to the project.

"The newly transformed Wally Tew pavilion gives the Ferntree Gully cricket, football and netball clubs the space they need to grow - including fit‑for‑purpose amenities for women and girls. This upgrade at Wally Tew Reserve will make an enormous difference for players, volunteers and families for many years to come. I am thrilled we could work with Knox City Council and the clubs to bring this fantastic upgrade to life."
