Community Grants

Blue Mountains ClubGRANTS 2012

Clubs that earn over $1 million annually in gaming machine revenue provide funding for community projects and services, and in turn receive dollar-for-dollar gaming tax deductions.

The scheme was introduced in 1998 by the NSW Government and allows clubs to claim a tax deduction of up to 1.85% on gaming machine revenue over $1 million for monies spent on community support.


In the Blue Mountains there are three eligible clubs:

  • Glenbrook Panthers Bowling Club
  • Springwood Sports Club
  • Katoomba RSL

Category 1 Funding

The Blue Mountains ClubGRANTS 2012 Program will open on 28 March 2012 and close on 4 May 2012.
