The Member for Swan Hill, Peter Walsh, is advising community sporting groups and recreational organisations that funding applications for round two through the ‘2010 Country Action Grant Scheme’ are now open.
Mr Walsh said this round of funding is available for projects between 1 July to 31 December 2010.

Development and policy and procedure manuals
Development of a club organisation website
Establishment of a new organisation.
B) Initiatives to improve the skills of club members through providing training for coaches and officials, administration staff and management committee members (not for training courses to enhance the physical skills of participants), including:
