Grants open for local football and netball clubs

Grants of up to $250,000 are available to help upgrade country football and netball facilities.

The Nationals Member for Gippsland South, Danny O’Brien said he is encouraging local eligible clubs to work with councils to secure funding through the latest round of the Country Football and Netball Program.

“Applications for these grants are open to regional councils and I am urging our local clubs to contact their relevant council to discuss their needs and proposals,” Mr O’Brien said.

“This is a great opportunity for Gippsland South clubs who may be struggling to maintain and improve their facilities due to limited resources to put their hand up for some extra financial support.”

Mr O’Brien said he was more than happy to provide letters of support for any local clubs seeking funding through this grant stream.

Interested clubs can request a letter of support from Mr O’Brien by emailing danny.obrien@parliament.vic.gov.au.

Applications close on Monday, 30 September 2024.
