Funding Support For Community Groups Across Hilltops

Community groups across the Hilltops region have secured funding totalling over $93,000 for four projects through the NSW Government’s 2022 Community Building Partnership Program.

Member for Cootamundra, Steph Cooke said the State Government funds would deliver much-needed improvements and equipment to local facilities.

“I congratulate all the organisations that were successful in their application and look forward to seeing how these projects make a real difference for community groups in the area,” Ms Cooke said.

The four successful organisations include:

• Young Child Care Centre Inc;
• Young Community Arts Centre Land Manager;
• Boys To The Bush Ltd in Young; and
• Harden Murrumburrah Historical Society Inc.

Young Child Care Centre was successful in securing $48,240 to undertake major plumbing repairs to their playground and soft fall area.

Young Community Arts Centre Land Manager will undertake upgrades to its complex, including smoke alarms and electricity supply, thanks to the injection of $10,270.

Boys to the Bush were the recipients of $18,000 to purchase a mobile kitchen camp trailer to use on camps, school programs and community events at their newly established CommunityHub in Young.

Harden Murrumburrah Historical Society will undertake electrical works for the Museum for Military collection and lighting for their display cabinets with the $17,450 funding they secured.

The Community Building Partnership program has funded more than 18,000 community projects since it commenced in 2009.
