Mackay scores big win with football park upgrade

JULY 13, 2018: IT was a pleasure to attend the official opening of the Mackay Football Park in a move which will support the 'beautiful game' in our city.The Liberal National Government contributed $350,000 towards the upgrade of fields and lighting, which followed on from an earlier Federal contribution of $1 million to move the fields from South Mackay to Glenella.Upgraded fields supports economic development in the area as well and allowed Mackay Regional Soccer Zone to host the inaugural Football Queensland Community Cup.This brought together 80 teams and more than 1,280 players in the week-long festival, held last week.Well done to MRSZ secretary Greg Kliese and president Scott Mealy and the legion of other parents and supporters who were involved in this great effort.
