Bareena Park Tennis Club will receive $50,000 to replace its court surfaces, while $300,000 will be provided to the Manly Warringah Gymnastics Club to support the fit-out of its new Centre of Excellence.
Mr Griffin said the funding was a significant win for the local community, helping to strengthen participation and ensure the long-term sustainability of both clubs.
“It’s wonderful to announce this important funding for two much-loved local organisations,” Mr Griffin said.
“Bareena Park Tennis Club, founded in 1957, has been a cornerstone of the Balgowlah Heights community for nearly 70 years. This $50,000 investment will allow the club to replace its court surfaces, ensuring locals can continue to enjoy high-quality facilities and fostering the next generation of tennis talent.
“In addition, with the help of this funding, the Manly Warringah Gymnastics and Multi-Sport Centre of Excellence is set to become a landmark community facility on the Northern Beaches at Nolan Reserve, North Manly,” said Mr Griffin.
“This state-of-the-art centre will provide a permanent, world-class home for one of Australia’s largest not-for-profit gymnastics clubs, boasting over 3500 users. The new centre will be a hub for sport, wellbeing, education and community connection, catering to schools, disability groups and residents of all ages and abilities.”
Mr Griffin said continued investment in local sporting facilities was vital to strengthening community ties, promoting active lifestyles and supporting the dedicated coaches and volunteers who keep grassroots sport thriving in the Manly area.
The Infrastructure Grants Program is funded through the NSW Government’s Clubgrants Category 3 Fund, which reinvests a portion of registered club gaming machine profits back into community projects across the state.
