A $5 million sporting complex including an international-level synthetic running track would make Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) School of Human Movement Studies an international player, according to the Head of School, Associate Professor Frank Marino. CSU has applied for funding for the complex through the VSU Transition Fund with backing from Bathurst Regional Council. Vice-Chancellor Ian Goulter says “This important project will be a fantastic facility for inland Australia”. The Federal Member for Macquarie, Kerry Bartlett late last week inspected the proposed site. “I’m meeting with the Minister for Education Julie Bishop this week to push the case. This suite of sporting facilities has the potential to make CSU and Bathurst a centre of sporting excellence and I think that’s tremendously worthwhile.”
