Are your town’s sporting facilities tired and in need of a boost?
Maranoa MP David Littleproud wants your sports group to apply for $29.7 million in Federal Government funding to improve local sports facilities.
“I encourage all local community sporting groups to apply to upgrade their sports facilities,” Mr Littleproud said.
“The grants range right up to $500,000. I want our local communities to have good sports grounds, courts and pavilions.”
Eligible applications must come from not for-profit organisations. The projects will be assessed against three selection criteria including community participation, community need and project design and delivery.
“These grants give the chance to improve playing surfaces, expand and upgrade change rooms, improve lighting and upgrade pavilions,” he said.
“Better sports facilities encourage more local people to play and watch sport. Sport is fun, a great way to meet new people and there’s nothing like the vibe in town when our team makes the final. So I’m keen to see as many community groups as possible apply for funding.”
Applications for the Community Sport Infrastructure Grant Program close on Friday 14 September.
