THE State Government has pledged $2 million for the second stage of the Ballarat Regional Soccer Facility at Morshead Park.
Sport and Recreation Minister Hugh Delahunty announced the funding this morning while officially opening a new synthetic pitch, which marks the first phase of the facility.
The Coalition promised the $2m during last year's election campaign.
The next stage will feature the development of two-storey clubrooms and a pitch with lighting.
It is still to be determined whether the playing surface will be natural turf or synthetic.
Ballarat City Council has placed $500,000 in its 2011-12 draft budget for the project.
