Brimbank sporting clubs are encouraged to apply for the 2021-22 Local Sports Infrastructure Fund grants.
The fund will invest up to $27 million for new and improved sports facilities across Victoria, with a focus on providing facilities to encourage participation among women and girls.
The fund supports projects across five dedicated streams: indoor stadiums/aquatic centres, female friendly facilities, community sports lighting, community facilities, and planning.
The grant amount available to develop female friendly facilities has increased to up to $800,000 to support more women and girls getting involved in community sport.
Clubs are advised to contact their local council to help with the application process.
The Brimbank Health and Wellbeing Hub, the reconstruction of Errington Reserve and a new Delahey sports pavilion are among projects that have previously been funded as part of the program.
Community Sport Minister Ros Spence said investing in new and upgraded facilities means community clubs can support more players and host more events safely as we progressively re-open.”
“We’re creating a level playing field and urge councils and sporting organisations to think creatively about how they
can support their communities with innovative and inclusive facilities.”
