Football and netball clubs across the Lowan electorate have until next month to submit applications for funding to improve their facilities through the state government’s Country Football and Netball Program.
Member for Lowan and Deputy Leader of The Nationals, Emma Kealy, said the program was open to all football and netball clubs, associations and umpiring organisations across the region, with grants of up to $250,000 available.
“Our local sporting clubs and associations play such an important role in our community, and these grants are a chance for them to seek funding for projects such as new change rooms, lighting upgrades, improved water efficiency and more,” she said.
“Being involved in sport is a great outlet for everyone, where you can make new friends and connect with your community while improving your own health and wellbeing.
“I look forward to supporting these projects and others across the region to make sure our local people have access to the sporting facilities they are entitled to and deserve.”
Clubs must first register with their local council before making an application.
Ms Kealy said more information was available at sport.vic.gov.au/funding/country-football-and-netball-program
Applications close on July 7.
