The project to transform the old White City venue into the new Hakoah Club is on track after the Perrottet Liberal Government approved an additional $5 million grant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Sport Alister Henskens said this additional support from the NSW Government will ensure that the project, which commenced in 2022, will be completed as planned after a series of cost escalations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hakoah Club project is set to deliver a modern hub for sport and community facilities in Sydney\u2019s Eastern Suburbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Included in the development will be a full sized floodlit football field, enclosed multi-use courts, learn-to-swim and outdoor pools, a large fitness Centre, nine tennis courts, a cafe, and a restaurant as well as community facilities for wellness, arts and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSport plays an important part in the fabric of local communities,\u201d Minister Henskens said. \u201cProviding the Hakoah Club with the financial support required to see this project through will go a long way to ensuring that more people in Sydney\u2019s East can enjoy these benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hakoah Club has previously received $7.5 million from the NSW Government through the Office of Sport to support the redevelopment of the former White City Tennis complex in Paddington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liberal Candidate for Vaucluse Kellie Sloane said it\u2019s wonderful to see the redevelopment of this modern sporting hub back on track for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liberal Candidate for Coogee Dr Kylie von Muenster said it is only the Perrottet Liberal Government that continues to invest in local communities through initiatives such as this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hakoah Club President Steven Lowy AM said: “We are deeply grateful to the NSW Government for this additional funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt a critical time in the project, we faced an unprecedented construction inflation environment, and we asked both our donor community and the NSW Government for additional support.\u201d Mr Lowy said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
