WARWICK Greenwood Junior Cricket Club is hoping the State Government will help fund new practice nets at Hawker Park.
Joondalup councillors at last month’s meeting endorsed an application for round one of the Department of Sport and Recreation’s Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) for 2016-17.
The cricket club is requesting a new four-lane practice net at an estimated cost of $92,600.

There are currently no funds listed in the five-year capital works program for this project, but if the grant is approved, the City can consider the project in its mid-year budget review.
“Currently, Hawker Park is utilised by Warwick Greenwood Cricket Club and Warwick Greenwood Junior Cricket Club for game use. However, very limited training is undertaken at the venue due to a lack of training facilities,” a council document said.
If approved, the City will manage the project.
The Department of Sport and Recreation has $12 million allocated for the annual CSRFF statewide grants.
