Gippsland based cricket clubs are being encouraged to get their applications into the Australian Cricket Infrastructure Fund (ACIF) to help improve local facilities and promote inclusion.

Funding local cricket
Mr O'Brien said, "The ACIF provided funding to over 60 projects in the 2023-24 season including four clubs right here in Gippsland. The Longford, Koonwarra Leongatha RSL, Toongabbie and the Leongatha Town Cricket Clubs have all benefited greatly from the last round of funding and I am encouraging any other local clubs with an unfunded wishlist to get their applications in."
Mr O'Brien highlighted that the ACIF is open to all clubs, associations, schools, local government and cricket facility managers. "Gippsland is a proud sporting community and it's important that we have the facilities to support the community's passion. I am more than happy to provide a letter of support for any clubs looking to make an application."
Applications are open now and close on Sunday 23 March 2025. For further information on the ACIF including guidelines can also be found at Cricket Victoria website.
