Two groups get funding

Two Peninsula sports groups will receive funds as part of Gosford Council's Recreation Assistance Program.

The Umina tennis courts and the Woy Woy Football Club will each receive $5000 in funding.

The Umina tennis courts will receive funding to resurface a synthetic court while the Woy Woy Football Club will receive funding for the supply and installation of additional light poles and lights at Austin Butler Oval.

The Umina Tennis Courts will receive the funding it asked for, while the Woy Woy Football Club will receive $2800 less.

Council staff stated that the program was designed to provide financial assistance by way of dollar-for-dollar funding to assist and allow the sporting and recreation community to "identify and participate in meeting its own needs".

This year 17 projects were selected by the Gosford City Sports Council and Recreation Services section.
