Coming from the NSW Government's Multi-Sport Community Facility Fund, the grants will give three main Shoalhaven sport facilities much needed makeovers.
State Member for South Coast, Shelley Hancock said the grants would provide more modern, inclusive and accessible facilities within the Shoalhaven.
"Playing sport with your local team is a quintessential part of our lifestyle," Mrs Hancock said.'
"This funding will modernise facilities for local clubs, associations and councils, and enable more local residents to enjoy the benefits of sport and active recreation."
The Multi-Sport Community Facility Fund which is providing these grants, is a two-year $200 million program with grants from $1 million to $5 million available.

Minister for Tourism and Sport, Stuart Ayers said the Fund would keep communities across NSW healthy, active and connected.
"As communities grow, providing inclusive and accessible facilities that can be used by multiple sports is vital," Mr Ayers said.
