APPLICATIONS are now open for sports and recreation groups under Yarra Ranges Council’s Capital Development Program.
Groups may apply for one-off grants of up to $50,000, which may be used to implement projects, focusing on improvements to sporting infrastructure.
The successful applicants will be inclusive to a wide sector of the community and provide opportunities for many residents to participate in sport.
Council has stated the priority will be given to projects that improve access for “disadvantaged groups”, will contribute long-term benefits to the community, or can improve council’s existing facility.
Applications close on 15 May, and successful applicants will be selected in June. More information is available from the Yarra Ranges Council. Contact Recreation and Active Living to ensure potential applications meet the criteria.
