Getting Tasmanian sporting clubs equipped for the future

The Tasmanian Liberal Government wants to help ensure the sustainability and future of sporting clubs around Tasmania.

That’s why I’m pleased to announce that under Tranche 4 of our Government’s COVID-19 Sport and Recreation Grants Program, 94 organisations across the State will share in $870,000.

Tranche 4 of the Program will provide sporting clubs with grants of between $3,000 and $25,000 to assist with the purchase of equipment that directly benefits the organisation.

This important Program recognises the vital role that the State’s sport and recreation sector is playing in the ongoing recovery from COVID-19.

Some of the sporting clubs set to benefit from Tranche 4 include:

*    Riverside Olympic Football Club - $12,800 for portable soccer goals and equipment;
*    Brighton Football Club - $20,000 for fitness equipment;
*    Kingborough Gymnastics Committee - $25,000 to replace safety matting;
*    Hobart Wheelers Dirt Devils - $21,472 for a new timing system for cycling race events;
*    Orford Golf Club - $17,718 for a greens mower; and
*    Deloraine Bowls Club - $15,120 for a greens roller.
