Through the 2018/19 Australian Federal budget, the Australian Sports Commission has been allocated $29.7 million for a grants program to improve local community sport infrastructure.
The ASC will announce this grants program in early August, and Golf Australia believes our sport is in a strong position to secure funding through this program.
Grants of up to $500,000 will be available to upgrade sporting facilities during 2018/19, with a focus on projects that will enhance community connectivity and promote an inclusive environment for all. There will be an additional focus on those projects which have been planned and are ready to commence.
In addition, the ASC will encourage clubs and facilities to align with their local government to benefit their communities, and those applications that address inclusiveness for all members of the community – women and girls, multicultural communities and people of all abilities – and safety of sporting environments will be well received.
GA will provide further information over the coming weeks as it becomes available, along with information on how both GA and your state/territory association can assist throughout this process.
