Member for Bega, Dr Michael Holland MP said: 

“Sport plays a vital role in bringing our communities together, building strong connections and supporting healthy, active lifestyles. 

“These grants will help our local clubs buy vital equipment and resources to enable more Bega and Eurobodalla residents to participate in sport. 

“Our local sporting organisations are run by dedicated volunteers who give their time to keep clubs operating week in, week out. 

“This funding will ease some of that pressure, helping volunteers focus on what they do best — creating inclusive, welcoming environments for our community. 

“I congratulate local sports organisations that were successful in securing funding and thank all the volunteers who are the backbone of community sport across the Bega electorate.” 

Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said: 

“The Minns Labor Government is backing, communities and organisations across NSW to enjoy the benefits of sport and active recreation. 

“The Local Sport Grant Program provides vital funds to community sporting organisations to invest in facility minor upgrades, new equipment and programs.  

“With tight budgets and clubs ever more reliant on volunteers, this funding gives teams resources to invest where they need, be it purchasing new jerseys  or hosing local events like come and try days.
