The ‘Croquet’ group has applied to the NSW Government for a grant to build a covered viewing, seating and storage area at the Raymond Laurie Sports Centre. These facilities will also be open for use by other CRU3A groups.
But, there’s a catch! Of course there is competition for such grants so community members are being asked to vote. So you can help the Croquet group’s application by casting your vote at http://mycommunityproject.service.nsw.gov.au/ and follow the instructions. You will need to have a Service NSW account or create one. By the way, you can vote for up to five applicants but please ensure that you make the CRU3A Croquet group your number one vote.
