Tesch urges Council to apply for Crown Lands funds
Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch is encouraging Central Coast Council again this year to apply for grants under the Crown Reserves Improvement Fund.
Ms Tesch has again encouraged local Crown land reserve managers to apply for funding under the latest round of the Fund.
It is understood that the Council is the only local Crown land manager.
Ms Tesch made a similar appeal last year, but the Council did not submit an application.
"The Crown Reserves Improvement Fund provides grants to maintain and upgrade reserves and community facilities on Crown land," she said.
"This year the NSW Government will invest $10 million in grants across the state to benefit community, recreational and tourism facilities on Crown land reserves.
"Grants are available to maintain and upgrade reserves and the facilities on them or to manage feral pests and noxious weeds on reserves to keep them in good shape.
"Grant applications are open to Crown land reserve managers, including local councils, so I strongly encourage eligible local organisations to apply.
"Crown reserves are public land set aside by the government for community use for purposes such as recreation or to protect sensitive areas of environment."
