Community sport organisations across Pittwater are set to benefit from more than $40,000 in funding thanks to the NSW Government’s Local Sport Grants Program.

Liberal candidate for Pittwater Rory Amon welcomed the announcement and said the six projects funded across the area would turbocharge participation in sport across all age groups and bring the community closer together.

“Local sport has a great way of bringing people together. This funding will support local grassroots sport for the benefit of our whole community,” said Mr Amon.

“This investment is only possible because of the Perrottet Liberal Team's financial plan to deliver for the future.”

Grants of between $2,000 and $10,000 per project were available with up to $50,000 available in each electorate.

Local sporting organisations benefitting include:

  • Bayview golf club
  • IKAIKA Canoe Club
  • Manly Warringah Basketball Association
  • Narrabeen Swimming Club
  • Northern Beaches Outrigger canoe club
  • Warringah Rugby Club

Minister for Sport Alister Henskens said the program will encourage people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the benefits of sport and active recreation.

“This funding will provide a cash injection to help improve sport facilities, enhance accessibility and hold new and exciting events and development programs,” Mr Henskens said.

“No government has invested in community sport like the Liberal and Nationals, and this program is another example of the more than $1 billion we’ve pumped into grassroots community facilities and infrastructure.”

More information about the program is available online.
