The Greystanes Cricket Club was awarded a $16,500 grant. The purpose is to fund site security and surveillance as part of the first round of the program.

The NSW Government has committed $15 million to support the safety and security of places of worship and other places where faith communities gather regularly.

The Safe Places for Faith Communities Program provides grant funding for places of worship and other eligible places where faith communities gather regularly.

The program aims to enable faith communities to:

• Come together safely to profess, practice and maintain their faith and religious heritage
• Reduce the risk of harm to people or damage to property
• Build community resilience, wellbeing and cohesion.

The grant amount available for application is $5,000 to a maximum of $250,000, exclusive of GST.
