Applications closed on Friday May 19 and Dubbo Regional Sports Council executive approved the following:
- Wellington Junior Rugby Club installation of a new scoreboard – $10,193.63
- Wellington Warriors Football Club purchase of replacement goal posts after originals suffered flood damage – $3,300
- Dubbo Junior Rugby League Club purchase and installation of deep fryers for the Victoria Park 2/3 canteen – $4,500
The total amount of funding distributed was $17,993.63 with the cost of the three projects totalling $40,257.27 and the successful applicants contributing the balance to see the projects completed.
“These projects won’t just benefit these clubs; the infrastructure they create will be available for the wider community, making more opportunities for the growth of a range of sports across the region,” Dubbo Regional Council Mayor Mathew Dickerson said.
Sporting groups can consider applying for the next round or funding from the 2023/2024 Dubbo Regional Sports Council Playing Field Improvement Fund which will open July 2023.
