Altona MP Jill Hennessy has announced Altona City Soccer Club and Point Cook Cricket Club will receive funding from the state government’s Emergency Sporting Equipment Grants program. Altona City Soccer Club’s grant will go towards new nets, wheels, crossbars on portable soccer goals and Point Cook Cricket Club’s grant will go towards new cricket balls, stumps, bats, and a bowling machine for batting practice.
“I’m happy that both these great clubs are being supported through this important initiative,” Ms Hennessy said.
Each year, the Victorian government provides funding through the Emergency Sporting Equipment Grants program to help clubs get back to business after being affected by disaster or criminal activity.
Sporting Clubs Grants Program has provided more than 300 grants totalling $614,000 to clubs, leagues and associations and other community sport and active recreation organisations that had to cancel planned events affected by the lockdowns this year across the state.
