New funding round for community sport and recreation facilities

Jan 20, 2021, 16:29 PM

The next Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) Small Grants round will open on 1 February 2021.

The CSRFF Small Grants round is open to local governments and not-for-profit organisations seeking funding towards projects that increase physical activity and participation in sport and active recreation.

The CSRFF is for projects ranging from $7,500 to $300,000. Up to $1 million in funding is available in this round.

All applications must be submitted by 31 March, but community clubs and groups must send applications to their local government for assessment prior to then.

Examples of previously supported small grants include new sports courts, cricket nets, small floodlighting projects, sports storage and change room refurbishments.

All prospective applicants are required to contact their local DLGSC office to discuss the proposed project before submitting their application.

Application forms are available from local DLGSC offices in regional areas, and your local government office in metropolitan areas.

Successful applicants will be notified in June 2021.
