For over a decade, Bacchus Marsh local Jason Watts has been trying to get a sports team for the disabled organised in the area.
Now, with the new council for Moorabool is coming in, Mr Watts is determined to get it done.
“We want to know if it’s possible for people to express to the council their interest,” he said.
“We want to see how many numbers we’d get, and how many volunteers we’d get.
“We’re hoping that will be successful next year or the year after so we would like feedback.”
Mr Watts, who plays football in Ballarat, wants to establish the team in Bacchus Marsh that’s involved with the Football Integration Development Association (FIDA).
“We really want one in the area,” he said.
“That will be actually fantastic, even Darley is interested.”
Moorabool council chief executive Derek Madden said are council is proud to have the specialist hoops wheelchair basketball program running at MARC Stadium in Bacchus Marsh.
“We are always keeping an eye on any inclusive programs we may be able to offer or support,” he said.
