Local organisations and councils in the Davidson electorate are encouraged to apply for up to $300,000 to help them deliver important emergency relief infrastructure for their communities.
Member for Davidson, Jonathan O’Dea is suggesting local not-for-profit groups and councils apply for grants of up to $300,000 for new or upgraded emergency relief infrastructure.
Mr O’Dea said the grants are being made under the NSW Government’s 2016/17 ClubGRANTS program for projects that help protect local communities during emergencies such as bushfires, storms and floods.
“I encourage all eligible groups to consider submitting an application for a project that will make a real difference in the communities of the Davidson electorate,” Mr O’Dea said.
“Over this term of government, around $50 million in ClubGRANTS will be provided to local communities across NSW to support three categories of infrastructure: sport and recreation, arts and culture and emergency relief facilities.”
Deputy Premier Troy Grant said these organisations go above and beyond to help their community, and the NSW Government is proud to help improve facilities that are relied upon by so many.
“New emergency relief facilities will support the invaluable efforts of our wonderful emergency service workers and volunteers in saving lives and property during times of crisis,” Mr Grant said.
An applicant information pack is now available on the Liquor & Gaming NSW website www.liquorandgaming.justice.nsw.gov.au with applications closing on Friday 7 October 2016.
Applications will be assessed by the independent ClubGRANTS fund committee and approved applicants will then be invited to lodge formal applications. Successful projects will be announced in early 2017.
