INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS FUNDING OPEN TO COOTAMUNDRA GROUPS

Thursday, July 12 2018

Community organisations looking to build new or upgrade current facilities are encouraged to apply for funding from the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program.

Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke MP said applications are now open for sport and recreation, arts and culture, and emergency preparedness projects.

“This funding can make a real difference to the local community, either by providing new or improved sporting or cultural facilities, or by protecting local residents in emergency situations,” Ms Cooke said.

“This year will see the NSW Government complete its commitment to invest $50 million into community infrastructure projects across NSW in four years.” 

The funding is provided through the Clubgrants Category 3 program, which receives a contribution from registered clubs’ gaming machine profits to benefit local communities. 

Funding ranges are $50,000 to $200,000 for arts and culture, $10,000 to $200,000 for emergency preparedness and $100,000 to $300,000 for sport and recreation.

“If you’ve got an infrastructure project that needs a leg up, get in touch with my office today so I can throw my support behind it,” Ms Cooke.

Applications for the next round of Infrastructure Grants are open from July 2 to 23.
