Groups miss out on sports funding

Two Peninsula-based organisations have not been successful in applying for funding under the Gosford City Sports Council recreation assistance program.

A third nearby group, Killcare Surf Life Saving Club, received the entire amount requested.

Gosford Council provided a description of applications and applicants were given an opportunity to speak about their project at a Gosford City Sports Council meeting in April.

The two Peninsula-based organisations that will not receive funding are the Brisbane Water Rowing Club and Brisbane Water Secondary College.

The Brisbane Water Rowing Club had asked for $7562.50 for a rowing boat enclosure.

Brisbane Water Secondary College had asked for $2046 to develop a fitness room.

The Killcare Surf Life Saving club had requested $950 for a sun shelter.

The Recreation Assistance Program is 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 their own needs.
