Sport and recreation clubs across the Tweed have secured NSW government funding to support new equipment, facility upgrades, and community programs through the Local Sport Grants Program.
Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said the funding will help boost participation, improve facilities, and support the training of coaches and volunteers.
‘Sport plays a vital role in the Tweed community,’ Mr Provest said.
‘These grants provide important support to local clubs, helping to grow participation in sport and active recreation while delivering positive social, health, and cultural benefits.’
