Tweed sporting organisations have received a major boost with the announcement of the Local Sport Grants Program by the NSW Government.

Member for Tweed, Geoff Provest said the grants would provide essential funds to sixteen local sporting organisations to increase participation, purchase equipment and improve facilities.

“Sport is a way of life in our community and the Local Sport Grant Program is another excellent example of the NSW Government delivering for the people of Tweed,” Mr Provest said.

“These grants provide vital funds to our local clubs to help with the purchase of uniforms, shade shelters and training courses”.

These grants provide a welcome lift to communities as NSW emerges from the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Some of the successful sporting groups include:

Cabarita Boardriders, Pottsville Cricket Club, Casuarina Beach Hockey Club and Pottsville Beach Soccer.
