Change room upgrade at Umina oval

Toilets and change rooms at Umina oval will be upgraded with the grant of $100,000 of funding under the Federal health department's Community Partnership Building program.

The facilities are currently used by the Umina Football Club, Umina Rugby League Football Club, Umina Cricket Club and Umina Public School.

The upgrade will include a number of significant internal works to improve safety at the facility, improve function of the ageing toilets and drainage systems and upgrade accessibility, according to Gosford Council's leisure services manager Mr Phil Moore.

He said the works would include removal of existing internal fittings, upgrade of existing drainage which has been damaged from neighbouring tree roots, installation of new accessible male and female toilets, shower facilities, new flooring, ceilings, internal paint and access pathways into the building.

It is anticipated that the project will start early in the new financial year with construction taking nine months.
