Western Queensland Flooding 

Eligible approved organisations may be able to retrospectively claim eligible recovery costs incurred from March 2025 following discussions with the department.

What funding can be used for

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
• repairing / restoring damaged sport and active recreation and racing infrastructure damaged by an eligible extraordinary event that directly relates to the re-establishment of sport and recreational and racing facilities
• rebuilding/replacing infrastructure and/or assets when it has been deemed irreparable or cost prohibitive

Eligible costs must be directly related to the delivery of the approved project and must not have commenced prior to the date of the declared extraordinary disaster event during which the asset or facilities were damaged, namely March 2025.

The Sport and Recreation Recovery Grant is in addition to other funding available for these purposes, such as:

• insurance
• Queensland Rural and Industry Development Authority (QRIDA) Extraordinary Disaster Assistance Recovery Grants.
• Other funding programs like the Gambling Community Benefit Fund.
