It’s a funding partnership with AFL, AFL Victoria and Netball Victoria.

Grants of up to $100,000 go to projects such as ground resurfacing, installation of lighting, building modern and safer netball courts and new pavilions with accessible and female-friendly change rooms.

‘‘Regional clubs including those in Northern Victoria region are a breeding ground for our next generation of sporting champions. They deserve modern and safe facilities they can be proud of,’’ Mr Gepp said.
