Grants worth a total of almost $450,000 have been awarded to 16 community organisations in the Cronulla electorate.
The grants are being provided under the NSW Community Partnership Program to help local organisations deliver projects to improve their facilities and equipment.
The program is highly anticipated every year and again community volunteers have worked hard to submit fantastic applications for local projects.
Thanks to their efforts there will be improved facilities and equipment for organisations such as local primary and high schools, disability employment, and sporting clubs.
This is a great boost for what our volunteers so to help bring people together in community and I look forward to seeing these projects come to life in the months ahead.
