Benalla clubs score big with funding boost

State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes announced the funding, which has come from the government’s sporting club grants program.

“We are backing local clubs in north central Victoria, so more people in our community can get involved in the sports they love,” Ms Symes said.

Local clubs to receive funding include the Benalla All Blacks Football Netball Club, the Benalla Hockey Association and the Benalla Running Group.

The program provides funding for equipment and uniforms, taking the financial burden off clubs and support for volunteers and officials to learn new skills and deliver new programs ─ helping local clubs grow.
