Safe Shooting Grant Now Open

22 October, 2025 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

A targeted program to improve safety at shooting facilities from across the Orange electorate has now opened, with local clubs eli­gible for up to $50,000 in funding.

Eligible projects include improvements to storage, security and safety, as well as new equipment such as electronic targets.

A key focus of the program is to boost participation among under­represented groups, including women and girls, physically impaired people, First Nations peoples, people from culturally and linguisti­cally diverse communities, and LGBTQIA+ people.

Individual shooting clubs, shooting ranges and shooting organisa­tions can apply for grants, which range from $10,000 to $50,000.The program also supports projects which incorporate inclusive design, improved safety, environmental sustainability and climate resiliency.

Applications close Friday, 17 November 2025. For further infor­mation and to apply for a grant visit: https://www.sport.nsw.gov.au/grants/safe-shooting-program
