A $113,734 government-funded grant will improve the school's basketball court, with an all-weather cover and lighting included and completed.

Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshal, visited the school last week to inspect the court, he said in a statement.

Principal Brooke Wall and representatives of the Gwydir Shire Council joined him.

Mr Marshall said the project include new line markings, lighting and a shade structure for the schools improved multipurpose courts.

"Bingara Central School's courts are among the better facilities in the town, but some major work is needed to turn them into a high-grade space for the entire community," Mr Marshall said.

A large steel shade structure will also be built along with resurfacing of the court and an addition of lights.

"I'd like to commend Gwydir Shire Council for its $17,680 contribution and the school's P&C for a very generous $6,000 to help this important project go ahead.

"With these upgrades now completed, students and the public can play basketball, netball and volleyball in rain and shine, day and night, on a brand new court.

"This will help provide much more opportunities for young people across the Gwydir Shire to take up healthy pastimes, particularly for young women, who have traditionally faced limited sporting options.

"This will also help Bingara attract inter-school and religion sporting competitions, helping council attract and retain younger residents," he said.

"The collaboration between the Gwydir Shire, Bingara Central School and our P&C to upgrade our facilities for the benefit of the students will be felt for a long time," Mrs Wall added.

"The upgrade provides a space for our students and the community in all sorts of weather to participate in a wide variety of sports and hopefully enhance community sporting events within Bingara.

This is a great step forward for the future of Bingara Central School"
