The Northern Territory (NT) Government is accepting applications for its Places and Spaces – Quick Response Grant Program.
The Northern Territory Government supports the delivery of sport and active recreation services to the community through a suite of grant programs aimed at increasing the number of Territorians who participate in sport and active recreation, and in turn receive physical health, wellbeing, social and community benefits.
