Recreational fishing
The Territory Government is delivering more support for recreational fishing through the 2025 Northern Territory Recreational Fishing Grants Scheme.
Fishing is a huge part of the Territory’s lifestyle, creating thousands of jobs for Territorians and generating millions of dollars for the local economy every year.
The grants scheme is part of the RecFishing Futures program and will help deliver a variety of activities, including fishing education programs, infrastructure projects, and recreational fishing events that engage and benefit local communities.
The second round of funding will open in August 2025, providing grants of up to $75,000 for larger infrastructure projects aimed at expanding recreational fishing opportunities across the Territory.
