Mrs Tuckerman said the NSW Government's $632,784 investment will assist construction and completion of four community infrastructure projects in the Boorowa area.
A total of $150,000 has been allocated to the Boorowa Tennis Club Inc to fund LED lighting.
"New lights for Boorowa Tennis will include the purchase and installation of new LED poles. An important aspect of this funding is that the new hinged poles will assist with the long-term maintenance costs for the club," Mrs Tuckerman said.

Boorowa Cricket Club will also be the beneficiaries of $138,031 for the upgrade of the grounds.
"This funding will upgrade the existing chain wire steel fence that is currently used as a boundary fence at the cricket oval as well upgrading the single existing cricket practice wicket to incorporate three new functional practice wickets," Mrs Tuckerman said.
Finally, Boorowa Recreation Club will also receive part funding for a Boorowa Miniature Golf Course .
"I'm delighted that we could also support the construction of a new 18 Hole Miniature Golf Course by contributing $100,431, which is almost 50 per cent for the entire cost to help the Boorowa Recreation Club get their idea off the ground.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro said $100 million was being distributed across regional NSW, with regional communities set to benefit from more than 550 new projects.
