Program Function: The NSW Government recognises the critical role local sport infrastructure plays in keeping communities healthy, active and connected and so has committed $200 million to the Multi-Sport Community Facility Fund, of which just over $100 million was allocated for Round 2.
The Fund will deliver the best outcomes for the community by creating places and facilities that enable communities to enjoy and take part in sport.
The NSW Government is supporting local communities to future-proof infrastructure by funding universally designed and inclusive facilities that move beyond compliance and provide dignified inclusion for all.
The Fund will support the development of well-designed new and improved multi-sport infrastructure projects that will meet the current and future needs of the community.
The Fund will support the delivery of sport facility projects that can directly support sport participation across all levels and provide programs for those people in the community that need it most.
Program Term: Applications opened on 27 June 2022, closed on 2 September 2022 and grants were announced in November 2022. Projects are expected to commence by July 2023 with construction completed by 31 December 2025.
