The Parkes Musical & Dramatic Society Inc performers will benefit from the upgraded microphone system.
Parkes Musical & Dramatic Society Inc has won $70,000 to critically upgrade their microphone system under the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program, Mr Stephen Lawrence, MLC has announced.
Mr Lawrence said the funding would help this valued organisation continue their great work in the community and praised them for their on-going efforts.
These projects are part of 46 projects across NSW that are sharing in $6.4 million under the latest round of funding in the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program and include projects in the areas of sport and recreation, the arts and culture, disaster readiness and community infrastructure.
Minister for Gaming and Racing David Harris said he was pleased to see this round of Infrastructure Grants go to many worthy groups who worked hard for their communities across the state: “I am impressed by the many and varied ways organisations are working to benefit their communities.
“Infrastructure Grants improve local facilities that bring people together, help them prepare for and recover from disasters, and promote participation in sport, recreation and the arts.”
Since 2013, more than 840 community projects have been awarded $145 million under the funding program. The NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program is made possible by ClubGRANTS Category 3, which directs profits from registered clubs’ gaming machines into community projects, while clubs receive a tax concession in return.
Applications for the next round of Infrastructure Grants are open until Monday 25 November. For more information on how to apply and for the complete list of Infrastructure Grants Program recipients visit https://www.nsw.gov.au/grants-and-funding/clubgrants-category-3-fund
