Sports funding available

The application period for the State Government’s sporting Capital Assistance Program has now opened and will close on July 25.
Member for Peats, Ms Marie Andrews, has called upon sporting groups and councils to apply for funds from this program to build sport and recreational facilities in their local area.
"These grants are to help not-for-profit sport and recreational groups and local councils develop sporting facilities in their area," said Ms Andrews.
"This is one of the most important funding programs for sport right across the State," she said.
Ms Andrews said this year the State Government would allocate a total of $4 million to the program.
Last year, the Peninsula had four of the 467 projects funded across the State in a wide range of sporting activities.
"I urge communities to submit an application for funds to help improve local sporting facilities," Ms Andrews said.
Application packs are available from NSW Sport and Recreation, local councils and Ms Andrews’ office.
"Alternatively you can visit the department’s website at
www.dsr.nsw.gov.au to download an application pack," said Ms Andrews.
