The successful applications in round two of the Our Sporting Future Funding Program were approved at the April Ordinary Council Meeting.
The program assists sporting clubs with the implementation of small to medium-sized infrastructure development projects.
The funding also assists with development programs for new and developing sporting organisations throughout Greater Shepparton.
Funding was available under three categories:
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said she was pleased Council can continue to support local sporting clubs and organisations.
“We hope this financial support will allow sporting clubs and organisations in Greater Shepparton to prosper and continue to grow,” she said.
“Our support in round two reaches right across Greater Shepparton from Tatura to Murchison and Katandra to Tallygaroopna.
“Thank you to all clubs and organisations who submitted an application and congratulations to those who were successful.”
Applications for funding are assessed in two rounds annually, with the first round closing at the end of July each year and the second round closing in February each year.
