Overview
The Recreational Fishing Grants Scheme (NTRFGS) will offer grant funding for community projects that grow and support recreational fishing in the Territory.
The scheme is funded by the Northern Territory Government’s $50 million RecFishing Futures Program and administered by the Fisheries Division of the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade.
In the 2023-24 financial year, the NTRFGS will offer grant funding to eligible organisations for projects and activities that directly improve recreational fishing experiences and opportunities in the Territory.
Eligible organisations can apply for small grants of up to $15,000, or large grants up to $100,000, for finite projects and activities that align with the objectives of the NTRFGS.
Applications are sought from fishing clubs, fishing organisations, Traditional Land Owners (Aboriginal Land Trusts), incorporated bodies and businesses. It is expected that successful projects will be announced in May 2023.

- improve recreational fishing experiences in the Territory
