In another major boost for the region, Cornelian Bay will receive $889,906 to- wards sports fi eld amenities. The upgrades are a part of the Level- ling the Playing Field Grants Program, which sees the government invest $10 million over two years to upgrade sports facilities to sup- port girls and women participating in sport. Member for Clark Sue Hickey said 14 organisations from across Tasmania would receive more than $5 million in the latest round of funding. “The $5.34 million allocated this year will help organisations build new facilities and upgrade existing facilities to ensure girls and women have access to the sporting facilities they need,” she said. “This will help improve the attraction and retention of female members in sport- ing codes across the state.” Funding under the 2019-20 program will contribute towards more than $11 mil- lion in total project costs around the state, with organisations matching the commit- ment dollar for dollar.
