20 junior sporting clubs in Logan will benefit from almost $20,000 in sporting equipment to be delivered to clubs across the city in the coming months.

The grants have been made possible through a partnership between the Brisbane Lions and the Logan City Council under the Logan Sports Development Program, which also provides up to $70,000 a year in travel assistance to Logan-based individuals and teams attending state, national and international competitions.

The partnership had provided $450,000 in travel assistance to almost 800 applicants since 2012 and sporting equipment grants were becoming a regular part of the program.

“We are now providing two grant rounds a year – to provide support for junior summer and winter sports as well as maintaining the travel assistance grants,” said Councillor Steve Swenson, Chair of the Sports and Community Services Committee.

“This is the second round of grants for equipment designed to support and encourage junior participation in a wide range of sports.

Greg Swann, CEO of the Brisbane Lions, said the Club was proud to be part of the Logan community.

“We see this program as a fantastic opportunity to help local sportspeople achieve their goals,” said Mr Swann.

“As a Club, we do thousands of hours of work in the community every year – it’s something at the heart of everything we do.”

The clubs receiving funding for sports equipment this round are:
