AS part of the ‘Our Sporting Future Funding’ program Round Two, Greater Shepparton City Council noted the awarding of more than $70,000 in funding at Tuesday’s Council Meeting to our region.
$74,721.00 in total was awarded to seven local sporting clubs to assist with the implementation of small to medium sized development projects and programs.
Now in its 13th year, the program provides five categories for funding, with Round Two seeing funding awarded under the categories of Major Facility Development, Minor Facility Development and Sports Aid. Council did not receive any applications for the Women’s and Girls and Youth Participation categories this round, however funding was awarded under these categories in Round One.
The successful applicants in Round Two included a variety of sporting clubs, including calisthenics, football/netball, rowing, badminton, table tennis and car clubs.
Mayor, Councillor Kim O’Keeffe said it was fantastic to see a range of sporting clubs represented in this round of funding.
“A big congratulations to the seven local sporting clubs who were successful in receiving funding this round. The Our Sporting Future Funding program is extremely popular each year and highlights the importance of local level sporting clubs across the region,” Cr O’Keeffe said.
“We hope this funding helps these clubs to establish projects and programs which will benefit their members, volunteers and supporters.
“I encourage other local sporting groups to consider applying for the funding next round to help their clubs prosper and grow.”
