Less traditional sports among recipients of Tasmanian Government funding

Less traditional sports among recipients of Tasmanian Government funding
July 15, 2023

Less traditional sports including eightball, croquet, dragon boating and barefoot bowls are among the sport projects to receive a financial boost from the Tasmanian Government’s latest round of grants.

There will be 145 sport and active recreation projects sharing in more than $1 million through the 2022-23 Sport and Active Recreation Equipment Grants Program.

Tasmanian Minister for Sport and Recreation, Nic Street, said the program provides local organisations with funds of up to $25,000 to buy new or replacement equipment.

Minister Street advised “from the Nippers Program at Raspins Beach Surf Life Saving Club, junior development at Circular Head Saints Football Club and barefoot bowls at Trevallyn Bowls and Community Club, this funding is getting more Tasmanians active.

"New umpire chairs for St Marys Tennis Club, a tractor for the Penguin Golf Club and a coastal rowing boat for Glenorchy Rowing Club are great examples of how we’re helping grassroots sport right around the State.

Minister Street noted that programs like this help “more Tasmanians of all ages and abilities to get active, social and healthy.”

The full list of successful applicants is available at active.tas.gov.au/grants_and_funding_programs
