The program is aimed at helping grassroots footy clubs in the Northern Tablelands and is a joint initiative of the National Rugby League and the state government.
“Main objectives of the Footy Facilities Fund are to increase regular and ongoing participation opportunities in Rugby League and to improve the standard of grounds and facilities,” Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall said on Monday.
Applications must address how the funds will:
- Improve safety at sport and recreation facilities (e.g. providing safer playing field, access pathways for players, disability ramps) and increase the security at sport and recreation facilities (e.g. installation of fencing)
- Remove barriers to promote inclusion in Rugby League (e.g. upgrade of amenities to increase female participation, provision of disability access, upgrade of referee amenities)
- Develop environmentally sustainable sport and recreation facilities (e.g. installation of drainage, rainwater tanks, more efficient lighting)
