Council Announces grants under Our Sporting Future funding program: Round Two

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:

Majors – for projects on a $1 for $1 basis but not exceeding $30,000
Minors– for projects on a $1 for $1 basis but not exceeding $15,000
Sports Aid - funding between $500 and $5,000 (without matching contributions) for special sports projects

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.”
