Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke has welcomed the announcement of a government program aimed at boosting female participation in sport, and is calling on local groups to put their hands up to secure the region’s share of the money that’s been made available.
The Level the Playing Field Program is open to providers of grassroots sports to fund new and upgraded facilities, and deliver fit-for-purpose amenities, like change rooms and lighting.
There are a number of projects in our electorate that would certainly benefit from funding under the Level the Playing Field Program, and the message to those groups is to apply as soon as possible.
“By investing in sports at the grassroots level, we are promoting physical fitness, mental well-being, and social cohesion, all of which leads to building healthier more vibrant communities,” Steph Cooke said.
Applications close at 1pm Thursday 30 November, 2023. For more information about the Level the Playing Field Program, email cootamundra@parliament.nsw.gov. au or phone Steph’s office on 02 6382 2399.
