The NSW Government today announced new funding is being made available, in line with our election commitment, to ensure recreational fishing can be enjoyed by everyone in the community.
The next round of Recreational Fishing Trust Grants opens today, through which fishing clubs and local Councils can receive funding for projects to improve and promote recreational fishing in their areas, whether it’s by rivers, lakes or the ocean.
This year, the grants program will have an additional focus on encouraging applications for projects that will help open-up fishing opportunities for people with disabilities, such as fishing platforms in popular fishing spots that don’t have one or that need an upgrade.
Applications must be in by 18 December 2023 for projects to enhance recreational fishing, including new fishing facilities and access to local fishing spots.
Funding guidelines and application forms are available at
