SPORTING clubs across the state are invited to look into funding opportunities to upgrade their infrastructure.
Victorian Minister for Community Sport Ros Spence announced on Monday applications are now open for the Regional Community Sports Infrastructure Fund (RCSIF) to help local communities plan, design and build the sport facilities they need.
The four funding streams in the Regional Community Sports Infrastructure Fund will help regional communities plan and build everything from indoor stadiums and aquatic facilities, upgrades for women and girls, community facilities, and infrastructure and planning to encourage people from all abilities to get involved.
Additional grants of up to $50,000 are also available to help boost participation for people with disability at the new or upgraded facilities.
“By upgrading facilities and removing barriers to entry, we are making sure even more people can get involved in local sport in their own communities,” Ms Spence said.
“These funds are making sure all Victorians, no matter where they live, have world class sporting facilities.”
The RCSIF is backed by the Regional Community Sport Development Fund and the All Abilities Sport Fund and since the first round of the program opened has invested more than $20 million in 26 projects across the state.
The RCSIF opened on Monday, October 28 October, and will close on March 17, 2025.
