Would you like to improve recreational fishing in your local area? Applications are now open for funding from the Recreational Fishing Trust for projects that enhance and promote recreational fishing across NSW.

Funding is available in this round for:

🔹 Recreational fishing education projects – up to $10,000 per application

🔹 Fishing infrastructure and access projects – up to $50,000 per application

Applicants are encouraged to contact the Department by email recreational.fishingtrust@dpird.nsw.gov.au to discuss their ideas and for assistance in applying for funding.

Passing on fishing skills helps young people discover the benefits of time outdoors, while better facilities open up fishing to more people across NSW.
