Four sports clubs and organisations within the Alpine Shire have Victorian government funding through the latest round of the Sporting Club Grants Program. Northern Victoria MP Jaclyn Symes said Mount Beauty Tennis Club Inc., Myrtleford District Basketball Association, Royal Children’s Hospital's Alpine Club and Porepunkah Baseball Club are among hundreds of groups to share in more than $1 million awarded statewide. The Mount Beauty Tennis Club and Myrtleford District Basketball Association each received $1000 to put towards uniforms for club members. The Royal Children’s Hospital's Alpine Club program also received $1000 to improve safety equipment. Porepunkah's Baseball Club received two $750 grants for members Paige Anders and Ayla McCallum, who have been selected for the All-Star All-Australian Legacy Girls 2025 BFA Nationals team. “We are backing local clubs so more people in the community can get involved in the sports they love,” Ms Symes said.
