Clubs disappointed at further pavilion deferral

Key points

• Clubs using Hansen Reserve in West Footscray have voiced anger after Maribyrnong council again deferred funding for a new pavilion. The decision was announced in an update to the reserve's master plan on 1 October.
• Temporary structures will now be installed in March next year, not November. Yarraville Club Cricket Club president Darren Cain said the lack of private toilets and women's changerooms makes it hard to attract female cricketers.
• Mayor Mohamed Semra said the pavilion remains a priority but budget constraints mean it must wait.
