Grants have been issued to 15 sporting clubs under a revised program which aims to support more clubs across a variety of needs.

The Sporting Event Sponsorship program now distributes funding for events, participation and minor facility improvement categories.

“This is the first round of funding in this new format which offers help to a broader range of sporting club needs,” Works, Parks and Recreation COO Bryce Hines said.

“It’s great to see that we’re able to offer help where it’s really required, and I’m sure recipients of the funding will be better off as a result.”

The following clubs will receive funding:

Rosewood Bowls Club: $2000 to support its Corporate Challenge.Woogaroo Swimming Club: $7250 to support its Long Course Preparation Meet.Ipswich Off-road Cycling Club: $7500 to support its Wild West XCO Mountain Bike Series.Westside Community Care: $6250 to support the Greater Springfield Run for Life.Ipswich Cycling Club: $7000 to support the State Mountain Bike Championships.Cricket Queensland: $10,000 to support the State Championships.Ipswich and District Rifle Club: $1800 to support its Open Prize Meet.Raceview Soccer Club: $500 to benefit its Raceview Minis Program.Springfield Brumbies Basketball: $2000 to help with participation in its Multicultural Young and Girls Basketball Program.Ipswich and District Rifle Club: $1500 to support a Come and Try Target Shooting program.Musketeers Sports Club: $2000 to help with participation in its Musketeers Satellite Centre Junior T-Ball program.Central Districts Cricket Club: $5000 to help upgrade their practice nets.Ipswich and West Moreton Cricket Association: $5000 to help install power and lights to a maintenance shed at Ivor Marsden Sporting Complex.Raceview Soccer Club: $3000 to help install bench seating at Grange Road fields.Ipswich and West Moreton BMX Club: $5000 to help install a roof.

“Applications for round 2 of this program will open on February 1 next year,” Mr Hines said.

“And we certainly encourage clubs to apply within the three categories which are available. There are some guidelines, but our over-arching mission is to ensure clubs are functioning at a high level to uphold the strong sporting tradition that Ipswich is known for, and indeed proud of.”
