New centre set to be new hub of NRL
Broadmeadows is set to become an important hub for Victoria’s rugby league programmes following a recent announcement to establish a Rugby League Centre of Excellence.
A joint project between Melbourne Storm, Hume City Council, NRL Victoria, the NRL and State Government, the centre will include an NRL Victoria administrative-base, high-performance facilities and playing fields.
According to State Member for Broadmeadows Frank McGuire, the new facility will not only provide an excellent home base for Melbourne Storm, but also a top venue for national and state level tournaments, camps and training. McGuire said:
The $12m centre, he said, has also provided an opportunity to introduce a new women’s team for Melbourne Storm.
The move, which is expected to generate demand for a new line of promotional products, has been welcomed by Mayor of Hume Geoff Porter, who said:
Cr. Porter said the new world-class facility will be built on land provided by the local Council, and will offer residents access to a facility of elite qualities, ensuring they have the very best on their doorsteps.
