Shellharbour City Sports Assistance Program
The Shellharbour City Sports Assistance program was created in 1973 with its objective being to provide financial assistance to sportspeople living in the Shellharbour local government area when chosen to represent their sport at official Country, State or National level.
The program is administered by the Shellharbour City Sports Assistance Advisory Committee, which is also responsible for the organisation of the annual Shellharbour City Sports Star of the Year Awards to be held at the Civic Centre Shellharbour, Saturday 30 April, 2022.
For more information about the program please read the Terms of Reference.
