Coffs Coast sporting clubs and associations are encouraged to apply for funding under the NSW Government’s Local Sport Grant Program.
Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said organisations could receive a share of $50,000 available locally to increase participation, host events, improve access or enhance their facilities.
“Applications are now open and I urge our local clubs and associations of all sizes and across all sporting codes to come forward,” said Mr Singh, Shadow Minister for Tourism, Emergency Services and the North Coast.
“Whether it’s football, netball, basketball, swimming or gymnastics, to name but a few, we know how vital grassroots sport is to our community.
“It’s not just important to living a fit and healthy lifestyle, but it is also extremely crucial to looking after our mental health and staying socially connected.
“The former NSW Liberals and Nationals Government invested heavily in upgrading local sport and recreation facilities and this is our chance to continue that legacy.”
Applications can be made for grants between $2,000 and $20,000 per project, which can be put towards the purchase of new equipment or improving facilities and programs which allow people of all ages and abilities to participate in sport and active recreation.
