Community Groups Invited to Apply for NSW Infrastructure Grants

Last week, Member for Goulburn Wendy Tuckerman, invited local organisations in the Goulburn electorate to apply for funding to support local community projects under the NSW Government’s Clubgrants program.

Mrs Tuckerman said Clubgrants allow local community groups to build or upgrade community facilities and a new round is now open, with applications welcome from not-for-profit organisations.

“$12.5 million is available this year for new or upgraded facilities across sport and recreation, arts and culture, disaster readiness and community infrastructure,” Mrs Tuckerman said.

“This is an opportunity for local organisations to apply for funding for projects that will provide long-term benefits to the community.

“Infrastructure Grants can fund construction, alteration, renovation, completion and fit-out of buildings and community infrastructure. Projects funded may include new or upgraded sports grounds, museums, theatres, homeless shelters and evacuation centres”.

Mrs Tuckerman said the grants are about connecting the community, fostering participation in sport, recreation and arts, and boosting social inclusion and disaster resilience.

These 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 key areas:

• Arts & Culture
• Community Infrastructure
• Disaster Readiness
• Sport & Recreation.

Flood affected communities will be prioritised in funding decisions for this round, in line with priorities for disaster affected communities.

Applications for the first round of funding for 2022/23 are open until 18th July. To find out more information or to apply, please visit nsw.gov.au/grants-and-funding/clubgrants-infrastructure.
