Liberal has pledged two community infrastructure projects for the seat of Holt this week if elected, including a security upgrade for a growing Lynbrook sports club and new facilities for a Pearcedale reserve.
According to Holt’s Liberal candidate Annette Samuel, an elected Liberal Government will provide $500,000 from a revitalised Safer Communities Fund (SCF) to Dasmesh Sports Club for security upgrades.
The funding would install new CCTV systems and fencing to keep the club a safe and secure place as it supported the local youth, particularly those who were at risk of falling into gang violence and criminal behaviour, Ms Samuel said.
“This funding is a direct response to the concerns raised by our community. I’ve heard firsthand from Lynbrook residents that safety is a priority, and we’re responding with practical measures to help make public spaces safer for everyone.
“Dasmesh Sports Club is more than just a sporting hub, it’s a vital community asset that offers children a safe space for personal growth, education, and positive social interaction.”
Dasmesh Sports Club is a growing cultural and sports club situated in Lynbrook.
According to its website, the club has netball teams, one volleyball team, one cricket team, and a range of soccer teams through Lynbrook Falcons Sports Club and offers kids and adult Bhangra classes to the community.
Down in the south of Holt, the Liberal has promised to deliver a brand-new playground and social space at the Pearcedale Recreation Reserve if elected.
Ms Samuel highlighted the importance of this project in meeting the growing demand for modern recreational spaces that support local families and enhance overall quality of life.
“Pearcedale and the surrounding areas are experiencing rapid growth, and families here have told me they need more spaces for their children to play and for the community to gather,” she said.
“This project will provide safe and modern facilities, offering families the space they need to stay active, spend time together, and strengthen community connections.”
The redevelopment will include a new skate park, playground, surrounding shelters, BBQ areas, and improved car parking facilities.
Shadow Minister for Home Affairs and Cyber Security, Senator James Paterson said the Holt community would be stronger, more secure, and better supported to tackle crime if the Liberals were elected.
