WIN FOR LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUPS

Twelve local community groups have secured funding for projects under the 2023 round of the Community Building Partnership Program.

Member for Willoughby Tim James said the funding will deliver much-needed improvements to a range of local facilities.

“I am pleased to support these worthy community groups and look forward to seeing these valuable projects make a real difference across Willoughby.”

“This year over $1 million worth of funding was requested from local groups, so it’s disappointing Willoughby received only $300 000 under this year’s CBP program, which is a 25% cut compared to CBP rounds under the former Liberal Government.”

“The Minns Labor Government needs to understand the real difference these small but worthwhile grassroots projects have on our community and restore funding for next year’s CBP round so more community groups can benefit.”

Streetwork Australia

Purchase of People Mover/Van
