The bowling committee have worked with the Mortlock Sports Council since 2007 to re locate and develop a synthetic bowling green accompanied by a new sporting complex to amalgamate all sporting facilities to the Recreation ground in Goomalling.
On Friday 18th December the Goomalling Sports Community Centre with a new bowling green true draw surface was officially opened by Hon Mia Davies MLA , Minister for Sport and Recreation.
Six Life members from the bowling club rolled the first bowl including 98 year old Dulcie Coulthard who is a avid and loyal supporter. Who never misses a local pennant match played on Goomalling greens
The Community have worked tirelessly for the 8 years to raise the finance to fund this project with support coming from Federal, State and local government funding.
The local community have also committed to many hours of volunteered labour.
The short time this project has been completed we have seen a increase in participation and spectators who enjoy the great view and new facilities.
