The funds were carried over into 1 992-93 and have been committed to several projects on recommendation from the Sport- and Recreation Council . to meet identified priorities-reflecting national initiatives and local needs.
(2) These were no organisations that did not spend the full amount granted. . Under the SLISS program the. delays in expected construction and thus taking up of loans were, for the Belconnen Basketball Centre, the South Canberra Gymnastics and Judo Centre and the Canberra City Gymnastics Club.. The sport and recreation grants. programs operate on a-calendar year basis and all funds from the 1992 program will be committed by December 1992 . . . .
