Funding joy for Western Australia sport and recreation facilities

Community sport and recreation facilities throughout Western Australia will relish an increased amount of funding over the next two years.

Following the 2023-24 State Budget, an additional $7.5 million per year was allocated. This positively impacts the Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF), as it will increase to $20 million for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 financial years, up from $12.5 million per year.

The State Government is also increasing the maximum grant available to fund major projects, going from $2 million to $2.5 million.

For projects worth up to $500,000, the application process in the form of CSRFF Small Grants has been revamped – the existing Annual Grants category for projects between $300,000 and $500,000 will be consolidated with the Small Grants category.

Small Grants applications will open on July 1, 2023.

A successful Small Grant recipient will get funding for half of their project, with the limit of $200,000 in total funding,

The CSRFF grants are designed to increase participation in sport and recreation, with the quality of facilities to match – as managed by soccer clubs and local governments who can apply for this funding.
