The Western Australian Government through the Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) program has today announced recipients of round one of the 2011/2012 funding round.
The funding is administered by the Department of Sport and Recreation (DSR) and round one will see a total of $823,662 administered to sport and recreation facilities across the State.
Member for Mining & Pastoral Region, the Hon Wendy Duncan MLC, said that she is pleased to see some major projects in her electorate have been allocated funding through this program which will see the ongoing development of sustainable facilities for sport and recreation in the regions.
Ms Duncan said that the Eyre region had received $81,473 for three projects.
These included the Esperance Bowling Club who will receive funds for the installation of floodlights for beach volleyball, and the Shire of Esperance who would receive funds to construct and refurbish cricket practice nets and to install floodlights at Little Lords field.
“I am pleased that our sport and recreation facilities in the regions will benefit from this funding, in either enhancing already existing facilities or through the installation of new ones,” said Ms Duncan.
This funding indirectly encourages people of all ages to become actively involved in their local sport and recreation clubs through having access to upgraded or additional facilities.
The next round of small grants (for projects under $150,000) opens in July. Clubs in regional WA should contact their nearest Department of Sport and Recreation office: http://www.dsr.wa.gov.au/contact
