The State Government has announced more than $140,000 for Maitland, in the latest round of Community Building Partnership Grants.
Council is receiving $50,000 towards disabled access and toilet facilities at Maitland's Number 1 Sports-ground, while the Netball Association is also receiving $50,000 towards a new $1.6 million multi-purpose amenities facility.
Maitland Rugby Club has been allocated $25,000 to re-line the ceiling of their club-house at Marcellin Park and Thornton Redbacks Football Club is getting more than $15,000 for aluminium-tiered seating.
Maitland MP, Robyn Parker says these are important projects.
"[This is about] community groups working with government in partnership, coming up with new infrastructure projects, some of them quite small, some quiet large, really where funding doesn't fit into any other bucket."
