"The upgrade of the aquatic club is not only an important upgrade for the local town but the whole Myall Lakes electorate, it will provide facilities for national, regional, state and club disability sailing regattas in ideal conditions on the shores of Wallis Lake, and will provide facilities for the local community which is in a relatively isolated area," Mr Bromhead said.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro said $100 million was being distributed across regional NSW, with regional communities set to benefit from more than 550 new projects.
To date, rounds one and two of the program have funded more than 1000 projects.
"Locals across regional NSW are seeing the benefits of rounds one and two of the Fund, with projects making a big difference to everyday life, from new playgrounds loved by kids to light towers illuminating sporting fields," Mr Barilaro said.
"We are funding grassroots projects that make a real difference to each community, and we know how important it is to support our regional towns with new infrastructure and programs."
The $400 million Stronger Country Communities Fund is part of the NSW Government's $1.7 billion Regional Growth Fund, which is being invested in local programs and infrastructure that improve the lives of people living in regional NSW.
