Funding opportunity for local groups, says Tesch

Member for Gosford, Ms Liesl Tesch, said she wanted to encourage community groups on the Peninsula to apply for Community Building Partnership grants before applications close on August 8.

The grants were designed to assist local groups in building infrastructure and to deliver social, environmental and recreational opportunities for the area.

"This investment is great news for our community and recognises the important work that many groups do to put the needs of the local residents first and make the Coast an even better place to live, work and raise a family," Ms Tesch said.

Ms Tesch said organisations could use the funds to build, refurbish or enhance facilities, or to purchase equipment.

"If your group could benefit from a little bit of extra support then I encourage you to take the time to submit an application," she said.

Program guidelines can be found on the Community Building Partnership website.
