An excellent result for the club and also a smart move to link it to the PCYC.
Funding for Centre of Excellence
- Thread starter sunshine_coast_tiger
- Start date
Good stuff!

Seems I was wrong…...
The biggest winners were Newcastle and Manly who were set to be allocated $10 million.
Other funding grants were: South Sydney ($8.7m), Cronulla ($8m), Sydney Roosters ($5.76m), Wests Tigers ($5.5m) and Canterbury ($2 million).

The key to government grants is to get the money spent. All these allocations will have caveats around them that the rest of the funding must be found first (or at least a high proportion of). If you don't get the money spent, than it often disappears. New governments don't honour old governments promises. Let's hope we are a long way towards securing additional funding.

It's a step in the right direction, however I will be interested to see where we source the rest of the funding. I assume the local councils will stump up some but that won't be enough based on the initial model and forecast.

I wonder how much the PCYC and Canada Bay council kicked in.

I don't think it was enough as the Wests Tigers and Manly both have not had their funding approved yet. They both have to "further develop" their proposals
Going off the Michael Chammas article in the SMH back in March this year:
_The Tigers, who arguably have the worst training facility in the NRL, are expected to put forward in excess of $10 million which will be matched by the state government to build one section of the facility.\
\
The club has also gathered financial commitments from several different bodies to fund close to $30 million needed to build the community-based section of the facility._
So the club was expecting $10m and got about half of that. Not complaining, because $5.5m is alot of money, just means they will either have to dip into their own pockets a little more, or seek alternative cash injections from elsewhere.
Wonder if Pascoe has Benny's number … :laughing:

I agree.
Whats a community club mean though? serious question. Not the first time Ive heard or read that but have no idea what it means.

The COE won't just be for the Tigers. We may be the main tenants but there will be parts where local kids and various local sports clubs get to use top quality facilities too.

It has been approved. Not $55 million but at least we've been given some money.
