Sport and Recreation Recovery Grant
On this page
The Sport and Recreation Recovery Grant is a rolling program that is jointly funded by the Australian Government and Queensland Government under Category C & D of the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
The grant assists not-for-profit sport, active recreation and racing organisations with the clean-up, repair or replacement of equipment or facilities directly damaged by an eligible disaster event and to re-establish activities.
Funding (currently closed)
When activated, eligible organisations can apply for up to a maximum of $1 million (GST exclusive) for each eligible project site subject to funding availability. This may include:
- assessing assets or facilities only where event damage or impact is found
- repairing / restoring damaged sport and active recreation infrastructure damaged by an eligible extraordinary event that directly relates to the re-establishment of sport and recreational facilities (may include the use of more resilient finishes, building techniques and materials where the application demonstrates a value for money outcome).
- rebuilding/replacing infrastructure and/or assets when it has been deemed irreparable or cost prohibitive (by a suitably qualified independent consultant).
The Sport and Recreation Recovery Grant is in addition to other funding available for these purposes, such as:
- insurance
- Queensland Rural and Industry Development Authority (QRIDA) Extraordinary Disaster Assistance Recovery Grants.
- Other funding programs like the Gambling Community Benefit Fund.
