$400,000 Building Fund for Community Projects in Murray Darling

Last modified: June 19, 2009 - 9:07 AM

The Nationals, John Williams, Member for Murray Darling announced that Community Groups from the Murray Darling electorate will be eligible to apply for funding under the new $35 million building fund announced in the NSW Budget to support jobs, stimulate growth and improve community facilities.

The NSW Community Building Partnership will invest $300,000 into building local community projects in each of the 93 NSW electoral districts, but Murray Darling will receive a further $100,000 more because we are considered a district with higher umemployment.

 

It means the Government will contribute to the cost of building important community projects such as:

  • Upgrades to community halls, playgroup centres and senior citizens centres
  • Charity facilities, art spaces and playgrounds
  • Local Environment initiatives like community gardens, cycle ways and walkways
  • Boat ramps, skate parks, community barbecue facilities and dog parks
  • Improvements to sporting fields like lighting, drainage and fencing

The partnership is open to community groups, not for profit organisations, non government organisations and local Councils.

Councils will be required to make a co contribution and the partnership encourages groups to contribute in cash or in kind to get local projects built faster.  A community group that has started raising some of hte cost of repairing a local hall roof for example will be able to appy for the rest of the funding for their project and get the project completed faster.

For more information contact Mr John Williams MP Murray Darling office in Deniliquin on 03 58817034.  Application forms and info packs available at www.nsw.gov.au
