Twelve community organisations, from schools to sporting clubs, are celebrating this week after receiving grants for special projects.
Smartboards, community transport vehicles and spectator seating are just some of the projects that will be funded in Campbelltown as part of the 2022 Community Building Partnerships grants.
Up to $400,000 was available for projects in each state electorate as part of the program.
Campbelltown MP Greg Warren said he was proud to have helped secure the grants for the community.
“These projects will make an enormous difference to many people within our community,” he said.
“I am so proud to have worked with our community to secure many Community Building Partnerships grants since first being elected as the Member for Campbelltown in 2015.
“This is a wonderful result not only for those successful organisations, but also the many people who will benefit from these projects.
“If anyone would like information regarding upcoming CBP projects, please contact myself or my office.”
