Independent Member for Pittwater Jacqui Scruby has announced over $446,000 for local schools, sports clubs and community services through the latest round of the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership (CBP) Program.

“These grants will help supercharge our amazing community groups. Practical funding for infrastructure and equipment for the services, public schools, sports clubs and charities so our community can thrive,” said Ms Scruby. “Whether it's shade for kids at school, boats for inclusive sport, or upgrades to rescue equipment, these projects deliver a tangible boost for Pittwater.”

I’m proud to support their efforts and will continue fighting to ensure Pittwater gets funding from all available sources.”
