Sport and Recreation Recovery Grant

The Sport and Recreation Recovery Grant is now closed for applications, and there are no current activations open for this funding.

The Department of Sport, Racing and Olympic and Paralympic Games administers the Sport and Recreation Recovery Grant (for approved activations), which is jointly funded by the Australian Government and Queensland Government under Categories C and D of the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).

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