Grassroots football and netball clubs across the state can apply for a share of $600,000 to improve their club as part of an annual road safety rewards grants program.
Now in its fifth year, the program allows AFL Victoria-affiliated football and netball clubs to apply for rewards of up to $10,000 to spend on club initiatives like club transport, new equipment and uniforms or facility upgrades.
Member for Mildura Jade Benham said, “The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) have kicked off this year’s TAC Club Rewards program, which encourages local clubs to promote road safety to members during the season.”
So far this year, 121 people have died on Victoria’s roads and more than half of those deaths have happened in regional areas, where tens of thousands of local footballers and netballers travel for games and training.
