Member for Cootamundra Katrina Hodgkinson is encouraging local sporting clubs to apply for the NSW Government's Local Sport Grant Program to get more locals involved in sport and recreational activities.
Katrina said the program aims to increase regular and on-going participation in sport and active recreation.
"The Local Sport Grant Program is a great funding opportunity for sports clubs in the Cootamundra electorate and across NSW," Katrina said.
"We know that sport is incredibly important for health and wellbeing, as well as bringing people in the community together."
"The NSW Government is committed to delivering the best infrastructure and services to the people of NSW and this Local Sport Grant Program provides funding opportunities for every single community across the state so I encourage our local sporting groups to take advantage of the fund," Katrina added.
There are four project types within the program:
- Sport Club Development
- Community Sport Events
- Sport Access
- Facility Development
Applications are now open and close November 11, 2016.
