The electorate of Wyong has secured $400,000 in funding for a total of 16 projects through the NSW Government’s 2022 Community Building Partnership Program.
Member for Wyong David Harris said the funds will deliver much-needed improvements to local facilities including Yerin Aboriginal Health Services (to improve footpaths and access into the new Community Hub), Red Tree Theatre (for a technical upgrade) and Wyong Girl Guides hall (for maintenance works and renovations).
“This is fantastic news for Wyong electorate,” Harris said.
“This grassroots funding will directly help create a more vibrant and inclusive local community with positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes.
“I congratulate all the organisations that were successful in their application and look forward to seeing how these projects make a real difference for community groups in the area.”
The full list of successful projects in the Wyong electorate for the 2022 round are: Wyong District Cricket Club; Toukley and District Art Society; Swamp Central Coast Incorporated; The Scout Association of Australia NSW Branch; Wyongah Progress Association; Girl Guides Association (NSW); Soldiers Beach Surf Life Saving Club; Yerin Aboriginal Health Services Limited; Central Coast Emergency Accommodation (T/A Coast Shelter); The Glen; Charmhaven Tennis Centre; Autism Spectrum Australia; St. Cecilia’s Church Wyong; Sunnyfield; Porters Creek Public School Parents & Citizens Association; and Elderslee Foundation.
