Nationals Member for Mildura, Jade Benham is encouraging local cricket clubs to throw their hat in the ring for a share of the Australian Cricket Infrastructure Fund.
The program is jointly funded by Cricket Victoria, Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers Association and is open to all cricket clubs, cricket associations, schools, local government and cricket facility managers.
“This fund provides grant opportunities across a number of project areas from minor expenditures to major upgrades,” Ms Benham said.
“The minor category funds projects up to $15,000, while the major category funds projects up to $40,000.
“We have many strong cricketing competitions across the Mildura electorate and a great pipeline of young talent getting involved with the game.
“I strongly encourage our local clubs who are looking for ways to fund their ideal projects to get their applications in and take advantage of Cricket Australia’s current funding round.”
Ms Benham said she would be happy to provide letters of support for eligible applications.
Applications are open now and close Sunday, 24 March 2024. For more information or to make an application visit www.cricketvictoria.com.au/clubs-support/grants/.
