The Trangie Golf Club can now be accessed by even more community members with the help of a grant from the former NSW Government’s Community Building Partnerships program.
Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders announced $90,280 for the Trangie Golf Club Cooperative to construct an accessible pergola back in 2022 and the project is now complete.
“Player numbers have dropped a bit in recent years, but the team at the golfie know it’s not just about the sport, but also about bringing people together,” Mr Saunders said.
“Whether you’re interested in playing golf or not, we want to encourage people to gather socially, and if they’re being active then that’s even better.
“This funding has allowed the committee to construct a covered timber deck complete with tables, chairs, fans and downlights, and it is fully accessible to anyone with mobility issues to get involved in the social and physical benefits of the club.”
Trangie Golf Club Cooperative president Scott MacDougall said it’s great to see community members already making the most of the space.
“Our club is a social gathering place, and locals are already embracing the new area for catch ups and events.” he said.
“It’s a really important upgrade and I think it will make a huge difference, not only to club members but to the whole district.”
