Grants Program Tackling Road Safety at Grassroots Level

The Allan Labor Government and the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) are recognising 316 grassroots football and netball clubs to share in $700,000 to drive down speeding in their community.

The clubs will receive up to $10,000 through the program, which is delivered in partnership with AFL Victoria, and encourages clubs to engage with players, members and their communities on key road safety issues and to promote safe behaviours on the road.

Member for Macedon, Mary-Anne Thomas congratulates the following sports clubs for showing their support for road safety throughout the year, including taking part in the TAC’s Road Safety Round:
