Werribee Hockey Club enjoyed a good turnout when it unveiled its resurfaced Hockey pitch at Presidents Park on Saturday, 13 February.
Wyndham City’s Employment, Education and Training Portfolio holder Cr Heather Marcus attended the unveiling of the revamped pitch, which was made possible through the collaborative work of Wyndham City and Werribee Hockey Club.
“Council had contributed $450,000 towards resurfacing works while the Club contributed $123,000,” Cr Marcus said.
Photos of the turnout, which was well attended by Hockey representatives, were posted on social media, attracting hundreds of ‘likes’ from Hockey enthusiasts. Cr Marcus said the Council was delighted to have contributed towards the initiative.
“This improved facility at a club which has come a long way from its early days back in 1975, will definitely benefit not only the players, butalsothe wider Wyndham community,” Cr Marcus said.
“Werribee Hockey Club has gone from strength to strength in its mission to foster and encourage the growth of hockey,” Cr Marcus added.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability.
