Mr Pitt said it was great to see so many clubs heeding the call to apply for funding.
“Through this great program, hundreds of clubs throughout the state have received funding to buy equipment and run programs to increase sport and recreation participation opportunities for their members,” he said.
The Get in the Game initiative received a big budget funding boost earlier this year with more than $80 million allocated for the next three years.
“Over the next three years, we’ll see $10.5 million going towards the Get Going Clubs program, one of the four funding programs under the Get in the Game initiative.
“We’re proud to be able to provide even more opportunities for Queenslanders to participate in sport and active recreation at the grassroots level—to get more people outdoors, staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle,” Mr Pitt said.
