Jindabyne Amateur Swimming Club received $3,400 for the purchase of Wireless Dolphin Timing Equipment. Cooma Athletics received $2000 for funding the training and development of athletics coaches for the Monaro Community and the Cooma Netball Association got 20,000 to upgrade the toilets and change rooms.
Mr Barilaro met with members of the Jindabyne Amateur Swimming Club to congratulate them on their successful funding grant last week..
“The main aim of this program is to increase regular and on-going participation opportunities in sport and active recreation in NSW,” Mr Barilaro said.
“Sport is a huge part of our way of life and the NSW Government recognises how important it is to our communities, for both social and health reasons.
“The government is committed to delivering the best infrastructure to the people of NSW and I look forward to seeing the benefits of this upgrade for the community.”
