$138,000 BOOST FOR FEMALE CHANGEROOMS AT SERPENTINE & DISTRICTS GOLF CLUB

Wednesday 9 April 2025

Federal Member for Canning Andrew Hastie has announced an elected Liberal government will deliver $138,000 to upgrade the female and accessible changerooms at Serpentine & Districts Golf Club.

The investment will provide modern, inclusive facilities that support growing female participation in golf and ensure the club remains a welcoming place for all members of the community.

“The Serpentine & Districts Golf Club is an important community hub, offering affordable golfing options for locals and visitors,” Mr Hastie said.

"For too long, women and girls have had to make do with second-rate amenities. That's not fair, and it's not good enough. This upgrade is about them—and making sure no one is left out of the game because of poor infrastructure."

The club has worked hard to advocate for improvements to the entire facility, and Mr Hastie said he was proud to support this vital aspect of the redevelopment.

The existing toilets will be demolished and replaced with new changerooms and toilet facilities, including accessible showers and toilets for individuals with disabilities.

“This investment is about building a stronger future for the club and the wider community,” Mr Hastie said.

A spokesperson for the Serpentine & Districts Club welcomed the announcement, saying, “funding opportunities like these, for what is essentially a "not for profit" organisation, do not come along very often and we are extremely grateful for the support.

“The upgrades to our facilities coupled with some other initiatives we are planning in the near future will make our facilities and course more attractive to golfers of all genders and abilities which will hopefully result in an increase in numbers participating in golf related activities, be it socially or through competition play.”

The upgraded changerooms will support the club’s continued growth, ensuring it remains a valued sporting and social hub for Serpentine and the surrounding region.
