A grant of $14,800 will be used to construct a viewing platform with disabled access at the current Rotary Lookout on the Abercrombie Road.
Member for Bathurst Paul Toole visited club members on location to deliver the news.
“Rotary clubs are a vital part of our local communities and a great example of business, professional and community leaders working together to make their communities a better place to live,” he said.
“This funding will see a plan come to fruition with the construction of a viewing platform with disabled access and landscaping at the current Rotary lookout.
“This is a place the whole of the community can enjoy as well as visitors to the area.”
The CBP forms a partnership between the NSW Government and community organisations to develop projects that need funding support.
The 2017 program has provided $300,000 to support community-based initiatives across the Bathurst electorate, Mr Toole said.
“If you are a community-based organisation with a project that will benefit your group and the wider community, I encourage you to visit the website at www.communitybuildingpartnership.nsw.gov.au to learn more,” he said.
Applications for the 2018 program will be called for in mid-2018.
