NSW Government Supporting Mannering Park Scout Group 

The 1st Mannering Park Scout Group has received a $15,754 grant as part of the NSW Government’s 2025 Community Building Partnership.  

The grant application was supported by the Hon. Yasmin Catley MP – Member for Swansea and has allowed the group to replace its existing solar invertor and install a set of 3.2kw solar batteries.  

The funding was also used to purchase a new automated external defibrillator (AED) on the outside of the building.   

The Hon. Yasmin Catley MP visited the Mannering Park Scout Group to present the cheque and inspect the new equipment.  

The $41 million funding available through the Community Building Partnership ensures local organisations and councils across the state have the facilities to support more vibrant and inclusive communities. 

The Community Building Partnership program has funded more than 22,400 community projects since it commenced in 2009. 

Local not-for-profit community organisations and councils were eligible to apply for grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, with $450,000 allocated to each electorate.  

The 2026 Community Building Partnership is expected to be announced soon. To stay up to date and for more information, visit the Community Building Partnership website: nsw.gov.au/cbp
