Community Sport Infrastructure Fund: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how local sports clubs can secure matching funds for facility improvements through partnerships with local councils.
This fund provides financial support to help improve local sports facilities through community partnerships.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for sports clubs that work closely with their local councils to improve their facilities.
What you get
You can receive matching funds to help pay for physical improvements at your sporting grounds. This includes projects such as installing new lighting, upgrading change rooms, or resurfacing playing fields.
What it costs you
To access this support, you must enter into a formal partnership agreement with your local council. You will likely need to provide documentation proving this collaboration.
The catch to know
In most instances, your local council must act as the lead applicant for the funding, rather than the club applying on its own.
How to apply
- Contact your local council to discuss a potential partnership.
- Work together to define the specific facility improvements needed.
- Ensure the council is prepared to act as the lead applicant for the grant.
- Follow the official application process provided by your council or the relevant government body.
