$1.86 millionĀ in funding has been granted to Townsville Cycling Club in order for them to rebuild their velodrome, the Queensland government announced today.

The velodrome suffered flood damage during the North Queensland Monsoonal Trough in 2019. According to Minister for Emergency Management, David Littleproud, the repairs will have a positive impact on the community.

The work has been jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements through the Community and Recreational Assets program.
