Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke said she was delighted these projects had secured funding. “These projects are all about making our communities even more liveable, I want to congratulate everyone who was involved in these applications,” Ms Cooke said.
“So many of these developments are about improving access to facilities to help more people get active, from the Young Pony Club’s project which will improve conditions for Riding for the Disabled participants and other riders, to improving Wombat’s sports court, to the fantastic Young Aquatic Centre redevelopment.”
“This funding will also help improve facilities for important local events. There truly is something for everyone in this round of grants and I want to congratulate all the successful applicants,” said Ms Cooke. For more information, visit: www.nsw.gov.au/strongercountrycommunities
