Two sports grant programs have opened up for local sporting clubs.
One program is aimed at encouraging female participation in grassroots sports and the other for maintaining and improving Crown lands reserves.
Level the Playing Field Program
This is a new program offering $30million to support the growth of women’s and girls’ sport and recreation inspired by the success of the Matildas at the Women’s World Cup.
The program will fund new and upgraded facilities such as change rooms and improved lighting, to foster a safe and inclusive environment for women and girls.
Level the Playing Field Program applications close on November 30 at 1pm.
