Mornington MP David Morris is encouraging angling clubs to apply for grants under the Recreational Fishing Grants Program through the Department of Primary Industries.
Mr Morris said two separate programs are on offer to groups. The first is a small grants program which is continually open to fund small recreational fishing projects up to $5,000 (GST exclusive). The second is a large grants program for projects from $5,001 to $100,000 (GST exclusive).
The small grants program will be open all year round, while the large grants program will close on 29 February, 2012.
Applications to the large grants program are being sought in the following four funding categories, however whilst applications will not be limited to these areas, applicants are encouraged to identify projects that would benefit recreational fishing in Victoria.
- Recreational fisheries’ sustainability and habitat improvement
- Recreational fishing access and facilities.
- Recreational fisheries-related education, information and training.
- Recreational fisheries-related research.
For further information on the programs and to access application forms, phone the Department of Primary Industries on (03) 5772 0254 or visit their website at www.dpi.vic.gov.au
