COFFS Coast Tigers Football Club is celebrating the purchase of a new mower, thanks to a $28,890 NSW Government grant.
Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh visited the club to see the new mower in action, and said it would be a welcome asset for the Tigers.
“I congratulate the club members on their new arrival, which was made possible by the club’s successful funding application to the Community Building Partnership program,” he said.
“The new mower will be a welcome asset in the general upkeep of the club’s picturesque home ground at Polwarth Drive in Coffs Harbour.
“The club is to be commended for always striving to maintain their playing fields and open space to deliver positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes.
“A new mower for Coffs Coast Tigers has been long overdue – the one they’ve been using was over 20-years-old and was deteriorating.”
Mr Singh said the region had secured more than $440,000 in funding for local infrastructure projects through the program.
It awards grants to shovel-ready community infrastructure projects that deliver positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes.
