“Local sporting clubs such as Quinns Rocks Little Athletics, Quinns Districts Junior Football Club, North Coast Ball Club and West Perth Football Development District will benefit from this new sports amenities building,” he said.
The investment will also benefit Quinns Beach Primary School which will use the facilities under a shared use agreement with the City of Wanneroo.
