Would you like to improve recreational fishing in your local area? Fishers and community members are encouraged to apply for funding from the Recreational Fishing Trusts for projects that improve and promote recreational fishing across NSW.

This year the grants program will have an additional focus on encouraging applications for projects that will help open up fishing opportunities for people with disabilities, such as fishing platforms in popular fishing spots that don’t have one or that need an upgrade.

Anyone can apply for funding from the Recreational Fishing Trusts, including fishing organisations, councils, universities, community groups and individuals.

Funding guidelines and application forms are available at our website here. Applications close on 5pm 18 December 2023.We can be contacted by email on recreational.fishingtrust@dpi.nsw.gov.au.

This is a great example of your fishing licence at work!
