abc.net.au/news/canterbury-olympic-ice-ink-given-17million-lifeline/101940266One of Western Sydney's last remaining ice rinks will be given a second chance at life after being awarded more than $17 million to cover much-needed repairs.
Ms O'Brien is now the director of not-for-profit Ice Skating NSW that runs the rink and said the $17.7 million grant awarded to the rink would go towards a "total upgrade". As part of the upgrade, the rink will see most of the existing structure demolished and rebuilt, with five new change rooms, a new ice surface, additional seating, and a grandstand, along with the new roof.
A grassroots community action campaign petitioned the NSW government to intervene in the rink's closure.
