It will allow any clubs yet to submit an application to put up their hand for a $1000 grant - or $15 000 for associations - just like 2077 clubs which have already received the funding and the 2152 which are still being processed.
“We’re helping clubs to keep their heads above water and prepare so that their members are ready to get back playing the sport they love when it is safe to do so,” Spence said.
“I know that club members will be cheering every player, every umpire, every coach and every volunteer as they return to competition and with these grants we’re trying to make that transition a little bit easier.”
A further $68 million is being invested in shovel-ready community sport and active recreation infrastructure projects.
Local associations to be approved recipients for grants include Benalla Saints Football Netball Club, Benalla All Blacks Football Netball Club, Violet Town Football Netball Club, Benalla Golf Club, Benalla Pistol Club, Benalla Pony Club, Gliding Club of Victoria, North East Archers, North East Bushrangers, and the Raise the Roof equestrian project.
