A new round of funding is now available for football and netball clubs across Ripon to support teams with facility upgrades.
Applications can now be submitted for the 2023-24 Country Football and Netball Program with grants of up to $250,000 available to make more sport infrastructure developments possible including court and oval lighting upgrades, changeroom developments and new pavilions for local clubs and communities.
“Sporting clubs are the heart of our rural and regional communities — it’s important they are accessible for all and suitable for use for our players, coaches, umpires and supporters,” Member for Ripon Martha Haylett said.
“I know so many of our beloved football and netball clubs are eager to do some much-needed repairs to their courts, ovals, pavilions and changerooms.
“I have written to all our clubs in Ripon encouraging them to apply for this funding.”
Previous successful projects in Ripon include $185,500 for brand new oval lighting at the Newlyn Recreation Reserve.
Local footy and netball clubs are encouraged to speak to their councils to apply for program funding.
Applications close on October 9. For more information on the program and to apply, visit sport.vic.gov.au
