The Campbelltown Liverpool Districts Pistol Club has received $50,000 from the NSW Safe Shooting Grant Program (SSGP) for safety improvements at their outdoor pistol range.

They were among 25 Statewide to receive grants of $10,000 - $50,000 for projects that improve storage, safety and security at shooting facilities, as well as purchase new equipment.

The Program also invests in projects which incorporate inclusive design to improve environmental sustainability and increase use of shooting facilities.

Another key objective of the Program is increasing participation in shooting by removing barriers for women and girls, people with disability, First Nations peoples, people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, and LGBTQIA+ people.

“This project will increase use of local shooting facilities and encourage participation by people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.

“I congratulate the Campbelltown Liverpool Districts Pistol Club on receiving a grant which will ensure the ongoing growth and success of the sport in Campbelltown and the broader South West Sydney region. 

Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said:

“The Safe Shooting Program supports shooting clubs to provide safe, inclusive and accessible facilities.
“Projects announced today will increase the use of shooting facilities across NSW and encourage participation by people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.
“This funding will play a significant role in supporting the next generation of Olympians and ensure Australia’s success at the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.”
