On Sunday, the Labor party committed to an upgrade of the Invermay Bowls Club to improve inclusivity, as well as a commitment to establishing a state team in the national Bowls Premier League.

On Saturday the Liberal party committed to upgrading sporting facilities across the state.

Deputy Labor leader Michelle O'Byrne said if elected, the party had committed $238,000 to an upgrade of the women's changing facilities and grounds at Invermay to allow access for participants with a disability.

"Invermay Bowls Club have been in operation since 1999, and they have some of the best greens in the state. What they don't have though are appropriate facilities for women's change rooms," Ms O'Byrne said.

"What we want to do is create better women's change rooms and disability access change rooms. The idea for here is to become the centre for bowlers with a disability, and managing that means we have to fix the cement outside the greens."

Club president Jenny Jones said the upgrades would make a big difference to the club.

"It really would help our club amazingly if we could get this done for our members," she said.

Bowls Tasmania chief executive Rebecca Van Asch said the club was used by community groups in the area, and the upgrades would ensure equal access for all.

"They operate out of our clubhouse as well, so having access for those groups, with seniors groups as well, it would make it a bit more user-friendly," she said.

"We market the sport for all ages and all abilities, so the more we can be inclusive for community groups that come in and more accessible is exactly what we want to do."

Labor has also committed $40,000 per year over three years for the establishment of a Tasmanian team in the Bowls Premier League.

"To be the only state not in the Bowls Premier League has been a little bit disappointing, and it's something we're looking forward to being a part of," Ms Van Asch said.

"It is our version of the [cricket] Big Bash League. And it's live on Fox Sports during the competition.

"It'll be really good to give people a different look at bowls, so they can see that it's not the old fashioned sport that they once saw, that it's changed a lot over time and it is bright and colourful, young and vibrant."

Ms Van Asch said they had upcoming meetings with the Liberal government about the establishment of a team

"We haven't had a no, but it's still ongoing," she said.
