The allocation was announced under the second round of the “Stronger Country Communities Fund” which the state says is “to enhance the attractiveness of these areas as vibrant places to live and work” – the aim is to try to redress the pull of the cities.
Mr Marshall urged Glen Innes community groups and sporting organisations “to get their project applications ready, to take most advantage of this opportunity.”
“Applications are now open and close on Friday, 4 May, so there’s no time to delay in planning your major project.”
He said that the criteria had also changed: “Refreshed guidelines will allow smaller projects and urban beautification works, while 50 per cent of the funding is guaranteed to head towards sporting infrastructure.”
