Federal Member for Dawson Andrew Willcox has thrown his support behind the announcement that a future Coalition government will commit $250 million in funding over the next four years to improve the lives of future sporting stars nation-wide.
Mr Willcox believes the commitment will make a lasting difference to the community and the lives of Dawson’s up-and-coming sporting stars.
“In rural and regional areas, unfortunately, sporting clubs and facilities are sometimes severely underfunded and under resourced,” he said.
“Too many young girls and women are disadvantaged when it comes to sport participation … this funding will help bridge the gap and will provide proper facilities for these groups.
“This package is aimed at improving sporting facilities where young families live and where participation in sport is vital.”
Under this new plan, the Coalition will invest $250 million to reduce barriers to participation for women and girls and is asking for support from states and territories to match the funding and bring it to a total of $500 million.
Recipients would need to demonstrate co-funding of at least 20 per cent of the project cost.
