The Mount Cottrell Bowls Club is calling for funding for a host of upgrades to improve the accessibility and playability of its facilities.
Secretary Kaye Matthews said the club is in need of an accessible bathroom block, as currently, players and spectators need to walk a distance to the club rooms to use the bathroom.
Committee member Shaun Taylor said other upgrades the club needs are a new playing surface, lighting to host night games, improved heating and cooling in the clubhouse viewing room, and road signage marking the club’s location.
Ms Matthews said the club is at risk of having to suspend its pennant games due to the state of the playing surface.
She said she contacted Melton council requesting signage at the intersection of Greigs Road and Mount Cottrell Road that also marked the club’s location, but the request was not successful.
Melton director of city delivery Neil Whiteside said the council refers to state government guidelines when making decisions around street name signage at intersections and main roads, and a council review determined the intersection did not meet the requirements for additional signage.
