The electorate of Davidson has secured $300,000 in funding for a total of 17 projects through the NSW Government’s 2020 Community Building Partnership Program.
Member for Davidson, Jonathan O’Dea, said the State Government funds will deliver much-needed improvements to local facilities across a range of areas.
The projects include high tech solar power systems and panels and an environmentally friendly sustainable playground and outdoor classroom. There are grants for simple, useful projects like a child safe gate for pram access into a preschool and covers for a cricket pitch.
The successful applicants include the Cerebral Palsy Alliance, schools, churches, Scouts and guides troops, a pre-school and sports groups representing softball, cricket and tennis.
“This is fantastic news for Davidson. This grassroots funding will directly help create a more vibrant and inclusive local community with positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes,” the Hon. Jonathan O’Dea MP said.
“I congratulate all the organisations that were successful in their application and look forward to seeing how these projects make a real difference for community groups in the area.”
“Importantly, many of the projects include provision of disability access making community facilities more inclusive” said Mr O’Dea.
The Community Building Partnership program has funded more than 15,000 community projects since it commenced in 2009.
