Mr Marshall said the new ‘NSW Footy Facilities Fund’ would see the NSW Government and the National Rugby League (NRL) invest $1 million each into a funding program to support junior and senior rugby league clubs upgrade or build new facilities.
“This may include spending on items such as new seating, goal posts, canteens, lights, fields, fencing, drainage, dressing rooms or storage facilities,” he said.
“To secure a grant of up to $75,000 from the joint investment fund, local rugby league clubs must be able to match the grant through their own financial or in kind contribution, including obtaining some support from the council if the facilities are on council land.
“This new part-nership between the NSW Government and NRL will help give our local clubs modern facilities they can be proud of because we all know modern facilities make sport more accessible which helps get more kids involved.
“Providing players with good facilities can be the difference between getting them playing the game or losing them to the iPad or Xbox.
