Sport and Recreation Disaster Recovery Program (SRDRP)
Sport and Recreation Disaster Recovery Program is now closed
When activated, the Sport and Recreation Disaster Recovery Program supports not-for-profit sport, active recreation and racing organisations with funding to re-establish their facilities and activities after extreme natural events, including floods, fire, cyclones and severe storms.
To be eligible for funding, an organisation must be located in a Local Government Area (LGA) listed as activated for either “Personal Hardship Assistance” or “Reconstruction of Essential Public Assets” on the Queensland Government’s Disaster Management website.
Where the organisation’s LGA is listed, funding will be available for application up to 3 months from the latest activation date.
Up to $5,000 in funding to assist in immediate clean-up efforts. This may include:
- replacement of damaged equipment that directly relates to the re-establishment of activities (including office and canteen equipment)
- payment of services and hire costs, and purchase of equipment and tools that assist in short term clean-up of facilities
- reimbursement for the purchase of the above made from the date of the relevant disaster
- funds for repairs and replacements when this amount is lower than the premium excess set by the insurance provider
- excess coverage for insurance claims.
Please note costs recovered through insurance claim payments or other sources are not eligible under this program.
Read the program guidelines to review eligibility aspects and supporting documentation required for an application.
