Supporting recreation and sports organisations

Our local recreation and sporting clubs add so much to our communities and council has a role to play in supporting them. Currently council provides support through grants distributed by the Sports Advisory Council. These help our local organisations with smaller one-off costs but we know they face other challenges. While we cannot do everything, we think these are the best ways that we can support local clubs.

Guiding principles for supporting organisations

Council will provide a budget of contestable grants for recreation and sports clubs who support community wellbeing.

Principle 18

Council will provide advice to support clubs to access third party funding and become more financially resilient.

Principle 19

Council will consider providing some funding for large capital investments by clubs where those investments benefit a wide section of the community or have wider community benefits.
