The Minns Labor Government has opened applications for $10 million in grants from its Crown Reserves Improvement Fund to maintain and upgrade public reserves, building better communities across the state.
Member for Orange encouraged local Crown land reserve managers to apply for funding. “The Crown Reserves Improvement Fund provides grants to maintain and upgrade reserves and community facilities on Crown land,” Mr Donato said.
“This year the NSW Government will invest $10 million in grants across the state to benefit community, recreational and tourism facilities on Crown land reserves.
“Grants are available to maintain and upgrade reserves and the facilities on them or to manage feral pests and noxious weeds on reserves to keep them in good shape.
“Grant applications are open to Crown land reserve managers including local councils, community groups who use Crown land and showgrounds on Crown land, so I strongly encourage eligible local organisations to apply.”
Crown reserves are public land set aside by the government for community use for purposes such as recreation or to protect sensitive areas of environment.
Reserves provide land for recreational areas and infrastructure like sports-fields, parks, walking tracks and campgrounds.
They also provide land for community organisations and facilities like public halls, showgrounds, scout halls and racecourses.
