Boost for local sports clubs

Local community sport clubs in Brighton, Highett, Beaumaris, Sandringham, and Caulfield, as well as clubs right across Victoria, have benefited from new kit, equipment and first aid, supported by the Victorian government.

Through the local sporting clubs program, 47 sports and recreation clubs in Southern Metro have been awarded vital funding.

Among the successful organisations is the Hampton Hammers footy club in Highett, who through the Sporting Clubs Grants will receive Indigenous jumpers for their under-19 team.

The Hampton Hammers play their matches at the Peterson Reserve, with the state government investing $250,000 to support upgrades for better facilities in partnership with the City of Bayside.

More funding, better equipment, healthier communities – that is how the Allan Labor government invests in local sport.
