Bega MP Andrew Constance encouraged community groups to submit their applications as soon as possible to avoid missing out.

Community groups can share in $300,000 for infrastructure projects.

“These grants allow not-for-profit groups to apply for grants that benefit the local community by providing positive social, recreational and environmental outcomes,” Mr Constance said.

“Since the program started in 2009, I have been fortunate to support projects that have built, upgraded or enhanced local infrastructure and (the program) has invested in excess of $1.8 million into the region.

“Should you require assistance, a letter of support for your application or general information, please contact my office on 6492 2056.”
