The Sport and Recreation Recovery Grant is a rolling program that is jointly funded by the Australian Government and Queensland Government under Category D of the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).

The grant assists not-for-profit sport and active recreation organisations with the clean-up, repair or replacement of equipment or facilities directly damaged by an eligible disaster event and to re-establish activities.

Eligible organisations can apply for a minimum of $20,000 (GST exclusive) 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.
• works repairing/restoring sport and active recreation items and infrastructure (e.g. clubhouse, field of play, lighting, indoor courts, etc) damaged by an eligible extraordinary event and required for the re-establishment of activities in place prior to the event.
• works that mitigate/improve resilience of the sport and active recreation infrastructure to the effects of future flood events*.
• works rebuilding/replacing an infrastructure and assets when it has been deemed irreparable (by a suitably qualified independent consultant) or it is cost prohibitive due to age and/or compliance issues.

To be eligible for funding, eligible organisations must be located in a Local Government Area (LGA) activated by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority listed as Extraordinary Disaster Assistance Recovery Grants “Not-for-profit orgs” on the Queensland Government’s Disaster Management website and meet eligibility criteria detailed within the Sport and Recreation Recovery Grant guidelines (PDF, 671 KB) .
