Dubbo Water Polo Club is making waves following the successful launch of their latest project, thanks to funding from the NSW Government’s Local Sport Grant Program.

As one of many sporting clubs across the state to benefit from this initiative, the club was awarded a grant aimed at increasing regular and ongoing participation in community sport.

The funding has been used to support the installation of a sport-specific scoreboard and shot clocks – vital infrastructure that aligns with the official rules of water polo and enhances both player performance and spectator engagement.

An official project launch event was held in October at the Dubbo Aquatic and Leisure Centre, attended by a representative for the Member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders, and Dubbo Water Polo Club members at Dubbo Aquatic and Leisure Centre.

The occasion marked an important milestone in the development of water polo in the region.

“The addition of this equipment brings Dubbo in line with higher-level competitions and opens the door to hosting more advanced fixtures,” a club spokesperson said.

“It’s a fantastic step forward for regional water polo, especially as we already have access to excellent aquatic facilities.”
