It will allow any clubs yet to submit an application to put up their hand for a $1000 grant - or $15 000 for associations - just like 2077 clubs which have already received the funding and the 2152 which are still being processed.
“We’re helping clubs to keep their heads above water and prepare so that their members are ready to get back playing the sport they love when it is safe to do so,” Spence said.
“I know that club members will be cheering every player, every umpire, every coach and every volunteer as they return to competition and with these grants we’re trying to make that transition a little bit easier.”
A further $68 million is being invested in shovel-ready community sport and active recreation infrastructure projects.
In the Mitchell Shire, Broadford District Pony Club, Broadford Football Netball Club, Goulburn Valley Horse Trials Association, Kilmore District Pony Club, Kilmore Football Club, Kilmore Golf Club, Kilmore Tennis Club, Lower Plenty Pony Club, Wallan District Cricket Club, Wallan Bowling Club and Wallan Football Netball Club are among the approved recipients of the grants.
