READ NOWThe State Government funding was part of the Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund, which has seen $20 million split between 24 projects in clubs and local governments.
Funding has gone to new changerooms and facilities for sports, including netball, tennis, golf, BMX and swimming.
Murray-Wellington MLA Robyn Clarke said the funding was “fantastic news”.
“This is fantastic news for the members of Pinjarra Bowling and Recreation Club, who have been asking for a shade canopy for a number of years now,” she said.
“The canopy over A Green will give them respite from the sun and allow them to play year round at all hours of the day.”
