Application for Financial Assistance<br />
In addition to CSRFF assistance, organisations <strong>of</strong>ten apply to <strong>Council</strong> for financial<br />
assistance towards the project. <strong>Council</strong> has a Community Grant Program (Policy No.<br />
2.1.15) which declares <strong>Council</strong>’s willingness to consider funding allocations for facilities and<br />
services to sporting, welfare, cultural, musical, and educational or other community<br />
organisations. The purpose <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the specific categories within this program - Financial<br />
Assistance for Community Facilities - is to provide financial assistance to organisations to<br />
enhance the provisions <strong>of</strong> facilities within the <strong>Town</strong> (such as new facilities, building<br />
extensions, provision or replacement <strong>of</strong> sporting/community facilities).<br />
The policy also specifies the terms and conditions on which such assistance may be<br />
forthcoming.<br />
The <strong>Town</strong> has received one application under the first round <strong>of</strong> the 2013/2014 CSRFF Small<br />
Grant category, released in July 2012. Reabold Tennis Club has resubmitted its application<br />
for the upgrade <strong>of</strong> fencing, which was originally submitted to the DSR in their last Small<br />
Grants round. Although the original application was supported by the <strong>Town</strong> the project did<br />
not receive a high priority rating from the DSR, so were therefore unsuccessful.<br />
After discussions with the Department <strong>of</strong> Sport and Recreation, Reabold Tennis Club was<br />
advised to resubmit its application for the first round <strong>of</strong> the 2013/2014 Small Grants, with the<br />
<strong>Town</strong> receiving their application on 8 August 2012.<br />
DETAILS:<br />
Application 1: Reabold Tennis Club - Fencing Upgrade<br />
Project Details<br />
The Reabold Tennis Board has, as part <strong>of</strong> its annual strategic review, reviewed all capital<br />
works programs. In the past, the upgrade <strong>of</strong> fences has always been deferred due to other<br />
priorities. The fences are now 56 years old and need to be upgraded for a number <strong>of</strong> safety<br />
reasons. There are broken, rusted wires protruding from the fence in several areas, causing<br />
a hazard for players that may be injured on the fencing whilst retrieving balls. Rust on the<br />
gate prevents it from being shut all the way which allows balls to go through the fence and<br />
out <strong>of</strong> the courts, which is a potential danger to players and spectators that may trip on the<br />
balls or get hit by a flying ball.<br />
An effective and safe fence is important for Reabold Tennis Club. The fence has reached<br />
the end <strong>of</strong> its life and requires replacing. Having adequate and safe fencing will maximise<br />
the enjoyment <strong>of</strong> playing the game <strong>of</strong> tennis and possibly attract new members to the Club.<br />
