Four local sporting clubs will benefit from successful grant applications in the most recent round of the Victorian Sporting Club Grants Program.
Euroa Junior Football Netball Club, North Eastern Archers in Benalla, Pyalong Netball Club, and Rushworth Football Netball Club have each been successful in receiving funding for on-field uniforms and equipment.
First round recipients included the Benalla Scout Group, Avenel Bowling Club, Broadford Cricket Club, Heathcote Cricket Club, Nagambie Bowls Club, Samaria Suns Sports Club, Tabilk Junior Football Club, Kilmore Junior Football Club, and the Nagambie Lakes sailing club.
Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland congratulated the clubs on their successful applications, and stated she looked forward to seeing the positive impact the funding would deliver.
“It is fantastic to have such a diverse range of sporting groups selected, all dedicated to bringing down the costs of being involved in sport,” she said.
“With the cost-of-living pinching household budgets, now more than ever, it is great to see community groups sourcing initiatives to make sport easier and more accessible for everyone.
“These grants will help remove barriers and boost engagement in our vibrant regional sporting scene by increasing participation.”
