The latest round of the NSW Government’s Recreational Fishing Trust grants has delivered $386,872 to projects that improve fishing access, facilities and education opportunities for recreational fishers.
Funded projects include:
🎣 A new accessible fishing platform at Red Rock Reserve near Wooli
🎣 Upgrades to fishing platforms at Como and Forster
🎣 New and improved fish cleaning facilities in western NSW
🎣 Boat ramp resurfacing projects on the South Coast
🎣 Community education programs encouraging more people to get involved in fishing
These projects are helping create better fishing experiences for communities right across NSW while supporting the long-term sustainability of recreational fishing.
Best of all, funding comes directly from recreational fishing licence fees, ensuring fishers’ contributions are reinvested into projects that make a real difference on the water.
