Round 11 of the Recfishwest Community Grants Program is now open

Recfishwest knows that with a little bit of support, community groups can achieve some amazing things.

And with Round 11 of the Recfishwest Community Grants Program now open, that support is potentially available for community-driven fishing projects across WA.

Recfishwest Community Grants Program has funded many great initiatives, including the Steep Point clean-up.

The Recfishwest community grant program is designed to enable community-based groups to undertake projects that provide a benefit to recreational fishing in their local area.

Recfishwest’s community grant program has previously supported fishing projects including fishing clinics and competitions, clean-up days, bream stocking, safety training and projects to restore and improve our fishing environment.

Recfishwest encourages any fishing club, community group, or member of the community who is coordinating a project that will benefit fishing to apply.

“Applications demonstrating the support of local recreational fishers will be given preference,” Recfishwest CEO Dr Andrew Rowland said.
