Does your local club need help to recover from the impact of COVID-19? Whether it’s marquees for a fundraising event, white goods for the canteen, or a fresh coat of paint for the clubhouse, the Queensland Government is supporting up to 3,000 clubs with funding to improve their facilities and purchase relevant equipment to encourage Queenslanders to return to play. The Active Restart Infrastructure Recovery Fund provides funding of up to $20,000 per organisation for minor upgrades, repairs and maintenance works and equipment to help re-engage Queenslanders in physical activity. Projects may include the purchase of equipment to deliver new activities or events, assist in facility maintenance, or reduce operational costs. Priorities for the program will be to share funding equally between Regional and South East Queensland, across activities and on those projects that will benefit as many clubs and participants as possible. The program is part of the Queensland Government’s $51.3 million Sport and Recreation COVID SAFE Restart Plan.
