Applications Open for Crown Reserves Grants

Published on 31 May 2021

Crown land managers and community groups that use Crown land now have the chance to share in $17 million in grants from the latest round of the Crown Reserves Improvement Fund (CRIF).

Grants are available to upgrade and maintain community facilities and reserves across the electorate and applications are open until 25 June 2021.

In the past, the CRIF has assisted in transforming West Wyalong’s caravan park, building new amenities at Murrumburrah Showground, providing upgrades at Junee Reefs Hall and establishing a new kitchen at the Barellan Showground. Temora Shire community groups are encouraged to apply.

The latest round of the fund will bring to life improvements to community facilities while supporting local jobs, businesses and the region’s economy through upgrade work. It will also fund bushfire management and weed and pest control on reserves.

While this year’s fund aims to help communities recover from bushfires, floods, drought and COVID-19, Temora Shire community groups should throw their hat in the ring as grants are available to maintain and develop recreational and tourism facilities on public reserves for community use and enjoyment.

Another focus will be to support projects that contribute to greater energy and water efficiency by encouraging the use of renewable energy and water saving technologies, and environmentally sustainable practices to reduce emissions.
