Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund

This funding is currently on hold while it is under review by the State Government.

The Community Sport and Recreation Facility Fund (CSRFF) is managed by the Department of Cultural Industries, Tourism and Sport to provide funding to community groups and local governments to develop infrastructure for sport and recreation.

The aim is to increase participation by helping develop new or upgraded facilities and sporting infrastructure that will maintain or increase physical activity, or result in a more rational use of facilities.

Priority will be given to projects that lead to facility sharing and rationalisation, new playing surfaces, floodlighting, change rooms and storage.

The CSRFF contribution is dependant on the scale of the project. See the CSRFF guidelines.
