More community sports infrastructure on the way

The state government is encouraging Victorians, including those in Wyndham, to apply for the 2023-24 Local Sports Infrastructure Fund.

The Fund helps communities plan and develop sport and recreation facilities through three funding streams by providing up to $300,000 for Community Facilities, up to $250,000 for Community Sports Lighting, and up to $40,000 for Planning.

All Victorian councils and Alpine Resorts Victoria are eligible to apply for funds towards a range of community sports infrastructure and recreation developments.

Community Sport Minister Ros Spence said nothing brings communities together like community sport.

“Our investment in sport and recreation infrastructure is making it easier for players, coaches, umpires and supporters of all abilities to get involved in local sport and lead healthy and active lifestyles,” she said.

“That’s why I urge local councils and Alpine Resorts Victoria to work with their communities to apply for funding and kick start new projects that can make a real difference to people’s lives.”

Clubs interested in seeking support through the 2023-24 Local Sports Infrastructure Fund are encouraged to contact their local council regarding the application process.

Applications close on December 13.
