The Griffith Aero Club's clubhouse will benefit from $375,565 to upgrade the facilities, including creating a toilet block and installing a larger kitchen.

Finally, the Griffith Coro Club's change shed will now include insulation and temperature regulation to address extreme cold in winter and extreme heat in summer thanks to a $272,360 boost. Along with those changes, the club will host a fully accessible bathroom to increase disabled access.

Wes Fang, the Duty MLC for Murray, said that the changes would boost community engagement in Griffith and the surrounding area.

"There is such a range of projects in Griffith under the latest round of funding, which is really exciting. These projects will encourage locals and visitors to get out, get active together and spend more quality time in the community," he explained.

"The Stronger Country Community Fund has never been more important to give regionally based community organisations and their members a much needed boost."

Peter Little from the Griffith Aero Club explained that the money would improve safety, vital for a volunteer organisation that supports emergency medical services such as NSW Ambulance and Angel Flight.

"Apart from the obvious uses of the amenities, the lounge area and soon to be opened pilot accommodation is an important safety aspect for pilots to satisfy their flight and duty rest times," he said.

He added that the Aero Club was incredibly grateful to Griffith council for their help in securing the grant.

The fund is part of a $2 billion program investing in regional NSW. The "Regional Growth Fund", works alongside the $4.2 billion Snowy Hydro Legacy Fund and is aimed at generating opportunities and advancement in regional areas.
