Around 1,183 children aged between 5 and 19 years in the Waitaki District will benefit from schools and clubs receiving the funding from the Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund.
The funding assists in lowering travel barriers for sports clubs and school teams with financial assistance for travel to local sporting competitions.
While Waitaki District Council’s Grants and Awards Sub-Committee assesses the applications for this fund, the funding itself comes from Sport New Zealand and the Otago Community Trust.
