Community sport organisations across the Terrigal Electorate are set to benefit from more than $41,000 in funding thanks to the NSW Government’s Local Sport Grants Program.
Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch said six projects funded across the electorate would turbocharge participation in sport across all age groups and bring the community closer together.
Projects funded include; an upgrade of changeroom and bathroom facilities for Terrigal/ Wamberal Rugby League and Youth Club; protective clothing for Central Coast Figure Skating Club; support for Kincumber/Avoca Cricket Club’s Participation and Sustainability Project; upgraded signage for Avoca Beach Football Club; an AFX portable boat ramp at Saratoga Sailing Club; and support towards Terrigal/ Matcham Cricket Club’s Terrigal Girls and Master Blasters Cricket Program.
“It is so important we continue supporting our local sporting clubs,” Crouch said.
“They are the life-blood of our communities and key to ensuring our kids live a healthy and happy lifestyle.”
Grants of between $2,000 and $10,000 per project were available with up to $50,000 available in each electorate.
Minister for Sport Alister Henskens said the program will encourage people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the benefits of sport and active recreation.
“This funding will provide a cash injection to help improve sport facilities, enhance accessibility and hold new and exciting events and development programs,” he said.
“This program is another example of the more than $1B we’ve pumped into grassroots community facilities and infrastructure.”
