Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch is calling on eligible organisations to apply for funding from the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program.
The program provides eligible community groups with grants of between $50,000 and $300,000 to support infrastructure in sports and recreation, arts and culture, disaster readiness and community infrastructure.
“This is a great opportunity for local organisations to apply for funding for projects that benefit the local community, whether it be from upgrading local halls, to lighting for sporting grounds, art exhibits, community transport, or infrastructure that supports youth,” Crouch said.
“Previous local projects that have been funded include upgrades to the cladding at the Empire Bay Progress Hall to the amount of $50,000 and the Erina Community Men’s Shed’s Footprints program, which received $56,994 for the extension of the woodworking shed.
“This program is about investing in our community, so it is essential that all of our fantastic organisations get to work and apply for this year’s funding round.”
The grants are made possible by the Clubgrants Category 3 Fund which reinvests profits from registered clubs’ gaming machines into community projects.
Funding is available for infrastructure projects in four areas: arts and culture; community infrastructure; disaster readiness; and sport and recreation.
Applications close on July 21.
For more information, community groups are encouraged to email Crouch’s office at terrigal@parliament.nsw.gov.au or call 4365 1906.
