Campaspe Shire Council approved 37 Community Equipment Grant applications, totalling $63,273 in funding to be delivered to the community.

Mayor Chrissy Weller said the purpose of the one off grant program was to assist community groups and sporting clubs to purchase equipment for their programs and activities.

"We were so pleased to be able to distribute this funding to so many worthy community groups and organisations.

"From all corners of the shire, community groups will receive welcome boosts to their activities. Maybe it's equipment they've required for some time and haven't been able to afford, or an extra luxury that will make operations run smoother.

"We look forward to seeing the new jerseys running around, new mowers keeping the lawns neat and new footballs being booted at training!"
