“Changeroom upgrades are needed and will encourage more people to engage in local sports,” she said.

Ms Winton also announced $5000 each to Hocking Netball Club and the WoolaWoolaKoolangkas Netball Club, which features local indigenous girls.

Ms Davies said Labor’s commitment did not explain how the party would fund it.

“If McGowan can’t say how he’s going to pay for it, it won’t happen,” she said.
