Applications have opened for the New South Wales Sport and Recreation’s Capital Assistance Program.

Anthony Roberts MP, Member for Lane Cove said the closing date for applications was 14 November 2008.

“The Capital Assistance Program is aimed at developing local level facilities,” Mr Roberts said.

“With $30,000 as the maximum grant available in 2008, organisations need to think about what projects they would like to see developed.

“Eligible applicants for the program include Local Government authorities and incorporated not-for-profit organisations wishing to develop facilities that will increase participation in sport, recreation and physical activity.”

“Application forms can be downloaded from the NSW Sport and Recreation’s web site at www.dsr.nsw.gov.au or by contacting 13 13 02” said Mr Roberts.
