Mayor Michael Regan has announced five sporting clubs on the Northern Beaches have successfully been awarded a share of $100,000 in sports and recreation infrastructure grants.
According to council, 16 applications were received, requesting more than $394,000; however, council’s budget allocation was $100,000 for this round of applicants.
The funding, which will be used to improve club facilities and grounds has been awarded to Manly Warringah District Cricket Club, Forest Hill Pony Club, Manly Croquet Club, Beacon Hill Youth Club and Bareena Park Tennis Club.
As each project provides a range of sport, recreation and community benefits, Mayor Regan said the funding will help support local sporting clubs to install or build much-needed infrastructure.
“Investing in sporting facilities improves the viability of our local sporting clubs who do so much good work in our community,” he said.
