The Natimuk and District Field and Game Club has recently acquired a new Polaris utility task vehicle, thanks to a successful application for a Horsham Rural City Council Community Development Grant.
Mayor Ian Ross and Council Chief Executive Officer Craig Niemann visited club members this month to view the new off-road machine, which was delivered from local business Traction Ag.
The vehicle is expected to be a valuable addition to the club, particularly in assisting elderly members with mobility around the grounds.
The Natimuk-based club continues to grow in popularity, attracting members of all ages from across the district. The new Polaris Ranger will enhance the club's accessibility and support its ongoing efforts to engage the community.
Each year, the Horsham Rural City Council allocates funding to support community and sporting groups through its Community Grants program.
The application period for the next round of grants opens in February, and groups are encouraged to plan their applications early to maximise their chances of success.
