Local not-for-profits, community groups and organisations are being encouraged to apply for the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program (Clubgrants Category 3). 

Mr Anderson said the program had already invested significant funds into local community projects, but he wanted to see more. 

“The NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants Program has delivered great outcomes in the Tamworth electorate over a number of years,” Mr Anderson said. 

“Projects like the Quirindi Silo Art and the Courts at East have both benefitted from an injection of infrastructure grants funding, helping get those projects off the ground and underway. 

“The program is designed to fund community infrastructure and I know there are several good projects in the region waiting for an injection of funding. 

“Projects funded can include new or upgraded sporting infrastructure, museums, theatres, recreational spaces, swimming pools, disaster readiness infrastructure and more. 

The objective of the Clubgrants Category 3 Infrastructure Grants program is to fund the costs of construction, alteration, renovation, completion and fit-out of buildings and community infrastructure to deliver outcomes for disadvantaged NSW communities including regional, remote and drought-affected areas. 

“Applications are open now and I’m calling on those community groups who are seeking funding to make an application now.” 

Applications for this round of funding close on the 22nd of July. For more information, visit https://www.nsw.gov.au/grants-and-funding/clubgrants-category-3-fund
