WA Government Boosts Regional Sport with Infrastructure Funding

The Western Australian (WA) Government has announced an investment of AUD2,863,524 million in funding for local sport and recreation infrastructure across the state.

This funding, distributed through 32 grants under the Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) and Club Night Lights Program (CNLP) as part of the broader “PlayOn WA” initiative, aims to enhance community connectivity and health through improved sporting amenities.

The allocated funds target projects in both metropolitan and regional areas, with a focus on essential upgrades. These include renovations to change rooms, enhancements to playing facilities, and the installation or upgrade of venue lighting.

The initiative’s goal is to deliver 2,030 community sport and recreation infrastructure items across WA by the year 2030, underscoring a long-term strategic commitment to grassroots sport development.

In this latest small grants round, 20 projects received CSRFF funding, and 12 were supported through the CNLP, ensuring local clubs can provide safer, more inclusive, and accessible facilities.

Administered by the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport, this program underscores an investment in the foundational elements of Western Australian sport.

By targeting infrastructure improvements at the community level, the WA Government is planning a greater participation, supporting regional economies, and building a more resilient sporting landscape.
