Member for Barker Tony Pasin has congratulated the Millicent Gymnastics Club on its successful application to Round 8 of the Stronger Communities Program.
The club will receive $20,000 through the Federal Government Program to upgrade its tumble trampoline.
The club plans to extend the length of the trampoline from 6 metres to 18 metres long for members to connect more skills.
Mr Pasin said he was pleased that, as a non-for-profit organisation, Millicent Gymnastics could take advantage of the highly successful funding program to the benefit of over 200 Club members as well as the NDIS participants and school groups who use the facility.
“The former Coalition Government focused heavily on local capacity building by targeting funding to grassroots community organisations like the Millicent Gymnastics Club, enabling them to improve community assets and facilities because well-equipped organisations contribute to stronger communities,” Mr Pasin said.
“For over 80 years the Millicent Gymnastics Club has been part of the local community.
“It’s vital the club receives the support needed to ensure they remain an important part of the community for generations to come.”
