This program has been hugely successful in the Dubbo electorate, allowing many of our local groups to undertake a wide range of projects.
This investment by the NSW government is about helping to deliver positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes, while also promoting community participation, inclusion and cohesion.

It was great to announce yesterday that Reflections Holiday Parks has received $170,000 from the Recreational Fishing Trusts to upgrade the Lake Burrendong boat ramp!
The Lake Burrendong concrete boat ramp is used by thousands of recreational fishers every year, but it's narrow, ages and in desperate need of an upgrade, so this funding will be used to widen the existing ramp, making it more user-friendly and, most importantly, safer.
