Councillors have agreed to a proposed budget, which reflects ongoing consultation and discussions with Corowa Rutherglen Football Netball Club (CRFNC) and the John Foord Oval Advisory Committee over the past three years.
While the clubrooms have been reinstated, it is widely recognised that the current building is at significant risk of further damage from future floods.
Stakeholders are seeking grant funding for a new flood-proofed building that will place the club in a better position into the future.
