One of the largest and most successful hockey clubs in Victoria, Wodonga Hockey Club is focused on improving its facilities to attract new players.
Vanessa Flanagan, Wodonga Hockey Club Secretary said:
'We're focused on nurturing hockey in the local Albury/Wodonga area, and we want to provide the best environment to encourage greater participation in the sport.
'Unfortunately, our old scoreboard was broken and then waterlogged so an update was sorely needed.
'The new scoreboard will allow for a better experience for players and spectators, and hopefully it shows us winning more often than not.'
Ed Walker, ARTC Victoria and South Australia Projects General Manager, said:
'We are proud to give back to the communities that are home to Inland Rail. The work these organisations do is instrumental to the wellbeing of regional communities.
'The latest round of funding takes overall support for local communities and associations along the Inland Rail alignment to nearly $1.1 million since the program launched in 2019.
'I encourage other non-profit groups to lodge their applications for the next round of funding which is open until Sunday 30 April 2023.'
The Inland Rail Community Sponsorships and Donations program offers funding between $1000 and $4000 for individuals and organisations in regional areas along the Inland Rail alignment. The funding supports organisations or individuals that contribute to local and regional prosperity, wellbeing, and sustainability.
