Five local sporting clubs will benefit following successful grant applications in the latest Victorian Sporting Club Grants Program. The Nationals' State MP for Gippsland East, Tim Bull, said he was thrilled to see East Gippsland sporting clubs awarded amongst the 400 selected statewide, that will help remove barriers and boost engagement through participation.
Mr. Bull praised the clubs for their successful applications, highlighting their merit, and anticipates positive impacts from funding, noting their dedication to reducing sports participation costs

The following clubs were successful in attracting funding:
- Swifts Creek Pony Club - for activity initiatives
- Buchan Football Netball Club - for uniforms and playing equipment
- Bairnsdale Scout Group - for water sport activities
- Metung Swan Reach Cricket Club for access and engagement - to deliver physical activity initiatives for people with an intellectual disability
