Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF)

The purpose of the program is to provide Western Australian Government financial assistance to community groups and local government authorities to develop basic infrastructure for sport and recreation.

The program aims to increase participation in sport and recreation, with an emphasis on physical activity, through rational development of sustainable, good quality, well-designed and well-utilised facilities.

Through CSRFF, the State Government invests $20 million annually towards the development of high-quality physical environments in which people can enjoy sport and recreation.

The CSRFF program operates on a reimbursement system. Grantees are required to demonstrate that they have expended the funds equivalent to the full cost of project before CSRFF grants can be paid in full. CSRFF grants are paid to the grantee only. Applicants will need to ensure they are able to carry the full cost of the project for the period between project completion and CSRFF grant payment.

Priority will be given to projects that lead to facility sharing and rationalisation. Multi-purpose facilities reduce infrastructure required to meet similar needs and increase sustainability.

Applicants must be either a local government authority, not for profit sport, recreation or community organisation and incorporated under the WA Associations Incorporation Act 1987. Clubs must demonstrate equitable access to the public on a short-term and casual basis.

The type of projects which will be considered for funding include:

• Upgrade and additions to existing facilities where they will lead to an increase in physical activity or more rational use of facilities.
• Construction of new facilities to meet sport and recreation needs.
• New or replacement (not resurfacing) of synthetic surfaces. Where an application is made for a new or synthetic surface, evidence of long-term planning for all nearby facilities is required.
• Floodlighting projects – where an application is made for floodlighting projects, evidence must be provided that demonstrates if a transformer upgrade is required.

Funds will not be available for:

• Projects that commence before approvals are announced.
• Development of privately-owned facilities.
• Arts, music and craft facilities.
• Facilities considered to be a full State Government responsibility, proposed by either government departments, schools or parents and citizen associations.
• Recurring maintenance or operating costs of existing facilities.
• Purchase of land, landscaping, carparks, access roads and other infrastructure costs.
• Stand-alone playgrounds.
• Bikeways or pathways acting as transport routes.
• Non land-based facilities, e.g., boat launching ramps, ocean pools and marinas.
• Non-fixed equipment.
• Facilities or fixtures for the express purpose of serving alcohol.
• Projects that do not meet Australian design standards.
• Projects that have already received a CSRFF grant and are seeking an additional grant to meet cost increases.
• Applicants/projects that have received a CSRFF grant in the past and have not satisfactorily acquitted that grant. In some cases this may apply to localities where other significant projects have not been progressed. An assessment will be made in November and if no physical progress has occurred, new applications may not be recommended.

Healthway sport sponsorships are available to incorporated organisations wishing to conduct projects involving recognised sport or recreation initiatives where increased physical activity is the primary focus or sporting events that have a wide audience reach. All projects must clearly demonstrate opportunities to promote health messages and achieve healthy changes within sponsored organisations.

The identified project should be new or innovative and offer clear health promotion opportunities. Upon request from Healthway, any PCAWA Affiliated Clubs wishing to apply for Healthway Sponsorship must first submit their applications to PCAWA, so that all submissions may be collated, and submitted together. Healthway then advise PCAWA of the outcome of all submissions, as well as the allocation of funds (if any).
