Blayney Shire Council have submitted an Expression of Interest under the NSW Government Regional Sports Infrastructure Fund for the King George Oval Refurbishment 2020 project.

Costing an expected $1.9 million, the refurbishment would include the construction of separate home and away male and female change rooms at a value of $500,000.

Chairman of the Blayney Sports Council deputy mayor David Kingham said the remaining funds would be spent on ensuring the town's premier sporting facility keeps pace with its regional counterparts.

“We’re being left behind by centres like Bathurst and we can’t accept that,” he said.

“We have to move forward and build the facilities that will bring athletes, men and women, to Blayney.”

Cr Kingham said the plan included a substantial modification to the existing parking situation.

“We can’t have vehicles driving in between the grandstand and the oval when we build the new change rooms, it’s just not acceptable,” he said.

“We will be looking at putting in a new parking area to the south of the stand and incorporating the netball courts in what will become an entire sporting ground, with at least an extra 120 car parking spots in that area.”

Cr Kingham said the $1.9 project, if approved, would also include improvements to the field surface.
