THE ACT Government will provide $5 million in the upcoming Budget towards a new sports precinct at the University of Canberra.
The contribution means funding for a $1m grant to the Brumbies for training facilities at their Griffith headquarters will instead be transferred to this project, says Barr.
“This precinct…will provide a hub for community and elite sport, for students at a university level and for local school children who can learn about sport and fitness from leading professionals in the field,” he says.
“[It] will cement UC’s reputation as one of the country’s leading tertiary institutions for sport and related studies, helping the university to grow and attract students to the ACT.”
