Jane Howlett,Minister for Sport and Recreation
The Tasmanian Liberal Government is helping to develop and grow Tasmania's sport and recreation sector in an effort to get more people involved in sport.
I'm pleased to announce that through our Sport and Recreation State Grants Program, 36 sporting organisations will receive a total of $1.15 million.
Grants of up to $60,000 will be provided to organisations, which combined have more than 90,000 registered members in Tasmania and represent a workforce of more than 15,000 coaches and officials.
These vital funds will help to increase the capacity of state sporting organisations, state disability sporting organisations, state sector service providers and state active recreation providers to administer, develop and grow their sport in Tasmania.
Our Government recognises the power of sport and the role that local clubs play in engaging people from all parts of the community and fostering community connections, by providing places to be social, active and develop skills and values.
A full list of the successful applicants is available on the Communities Tasmania website at www.communities.tas.gov.au/csr
