Eight schools across the Terrigal Electorate have secured more than $209,000 in funding through the latest round of the NSW Government’s 2022 Community Building Partnership Program.

Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch said the funds will deliver much-needed improvements to local facilities including upgrades to play equipment, new storage sheds and the installation of a new filtered water station.

“This is fantastic news for the schools who received funding across the Terrigal electorate,” he said.

“This grassroots funding will directly help create a more vibrant and inclusive local community with positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes.”

Green Point Christian College has received $9,858 for the installation of a new filtered water drinking station and Coast Christian School picked up $20,530 for a covered walkway into the school hall.

Copacabana Public School will install a new electronic sign board with its $40,000 and Kincumber Public School will purchase and install soft play services under playground equipment with its $50,000 grant.
