DO you have a great idea to improve recreational fishing in your local area? Fishers and community members are encouraged to apply for funding from the Recreational Fishing Trusts for projects that improve and promote recreational fishing across the state.
Anyone can apply for funding from the Recreational Fishing Trusts, including fishing organisations, councils, universities, community groups and individuals. Grants are available for both large projects valued at more than $10,000 in funding and small projects involving less than $10,000.
Project areas previously funded include:
- fishing access and facilities;
- enhancing recreational fisheries;
- recreational fishing education;
- essential research on recreational fishing and any other projects that benefit recreational fishing
Funding guidelines and application forms are available here and applications close on 3 December.
