Hydration Station for Lords Reserve

EASY access to drinking water is now available at Lords Reserve following the installation of a new hydration station. Located next to the barbecue shelter, the station was installed by council in response to requests from sport clubs. Previously the reserve had no publicly accessible drinking facility. Council also agreed to cover the ongoing service charges. Goulburn Valley Water, who provided the station, will be responsible for maintaining it. The hydration station adds to a big suite of improvements council is delivering all around Lords Reserve. In February it secured funding from the Australian Government’s Growing Regions Program to construct a brand new pavilion and upgrade the existing toilets and clubrooms – an investment of over $2 million. Drainage and car parking upgrade works were also completed in 2024. Mayor Cr Steve Rabie said council was investing in the future of local sporting clubs. “We’re really excited to get started on the Lords Reserve pavilion,” he said. “We have also put in an application to the 2024-25 Country Football Netball Program to ‘Light up Lords’, with a funding application submitted to install lighting on the oval with a budget of $375,000 for the project. “We’ve listened to the needs of our local sporting clubs, and we’re acting. "The works we’re delivering at the reserve will set them up for years to come."
