ANGLING clubs can apply for State Government grants of up to $2200 to hold events that will contribute to the future of recreational fishing.
South Eastern Metropolitan MP Gordon Rich-Phillips said grants were now open for submissions from local angling clubs as part of the State Government’s 2008-2009 Recreational Fishing Grants Program (RFGP).
“The purpose behind RFGP is to improve areas in recreational fishing in Victoria, such as sustainability and habitat – including fish stocking – access and facilities, education, information and training, and research,” he said.
“Local angling clubs that have ideas on improving education and training in recreational fishing will also have the opportunity to apply for grants that will fund small events that enhance awareness, skills and knowledge of recreational fishing.
“Local angling clubs who wish to apply for funding for small events will have the opportunity to apply for grants of up to $2200.”
Applications close on 27 February 2009. Eligible projects will be funded from August 2009.
