THE NSW Government has announced funding to enhance recreational fishing as part of the 2024\/25 Recreational Fishing Trust Grants program.<\/p>\n

The government has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting recreational fishing and improving disabled access across the state, as recommended by the Recreational Fishing NSW Advisory Council.<\/p>\n

Of the $1.8 million distributed over 24 projects, $26,210 has been allocated to Tumbulgum to provide local fish cleaning facilities next to the jetty and improve disabled access.<\/p>\n

Minister for Agriculture and Regional NSW Tara Moriarty said that fishing licence fees had been put to work to improve the state’s recreational fishing facilities and habitats.<\/p>\n

“I am pleased to see some significant new facilities being funded to welcome people with a disability into fishing around our state, either inland or along the coast,” Ms Moriarty said.<\/p>\n

“The NSW Government is committed to supporting the recreational fishing community and seeing it contribute to regional tourism, creating jobs and generating income.”<\/p>\n

Recreational Fishing Trust Grants will open for the next round of funding on November 6. Additionally, applications for the Government’s new $2 million recreational fishing small infrastructure grant program will open at the same time, making it easier for clubs, community groups and other organisations to apply for funding.
