Sport and Recreation Minister Damian Drum made the announcements on Thursday.

The grants are from the Local Facilities for Local Clubs Program. 

The Carisbrook Football and Cricket Clubs will recieve $12,000 as part of the project. 

Newstead netballers and tennis players will benefit from a $32,500 boost. 

"The government recognises just how vital clubs and their facilities are to the social fabric of local communities," Mr Drum said. 

These projects are two of the 73 successful sport and recreation initiatives across Victoria to win an inaugural LFLCP grant. 

As part of the funding, clubs aim to redevelop facilities by using their own funds and resources to partner with the government.

"The LFLCP provides a boost for innovative community clubs and organisations with the government providing dollar-for-dollar matching funds for community contributions of up to $50,000 for small sport and recreation facility projects," Mr Drum said. 

Meanwhile the Wedderburn Netball and Tennis Clubs will have access to a new multi-purpose court after Mr Drum announced the clubs would receive a $59,699 boost. 

The funding, from the Community Facility Funding Program, will see the regional club install an acrylic surface court as well as new lightening.

Mr Drum hoped the upgraded facility would increase participation of both sports within the town. 

“Not only will a new court give a new high-quality surface to play on, the addition of lights will maximise the usage of the facility,” he said. 

Croquet players will also be looking forward to playing on lush green courts during summer at the Maryborough Croquet Club. 

Mr Drum presented the club with a $6746 grant to help them install a 50,000 litre rainwater tank. 

"The new tank will increase irrigation capacity at the club by 55 per cent, the extra water ensures the club is not drawing on the town's valuable water supplies," he said.
