Yarra Ranges Mayor, Cr Sophie Todorov, congratulated the clubs and groups for their successful grant applications.
“We know that sporting groups care deeply about the spaces they use – these are homes away from home for so many
“Capital Development Grants give clubs a leg-up to make improvements – whether it’s netting behind goalposts, upgrades to changerooms, getting a new scoreboard, improving safety or just renovating.
“I’m so pleased that we were able to fund all of the eligible projects submitted to us this year; I’m glad we can support our clubs here at Council and I look forward to seeing these projects become reality.”
Council provides grants of up to $30,000 for projects that have a total cost of $80,000, with the condition that clubs or user groups match provided Council funding dollar-for-dollar.
