Member for Hillarys, Caitlin Collins MLA, is calling on local community sporting groups seeking funding for sporting facility projects to get their applications in for the latest round of the Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) program and Club Night Lights Program (CNLP).

Applications for projects over $300,000 are now open and will close 31 August 2022.

In addition to this, the CSRFF and CNLP Small Grants round for projects $300,000 and under will open on 1 July 2022 and close on 31 August 2022.

The CSRFF provides $12.5 million a year to community groups and local governments to develop infrastructure for sport and recreation. The program allocates $3 million to projects that improve facilities for women.

The CSRFF aims to increase participation in sport and recreation by helping build well-designed and well-utilised facilities for grassroots sporting organisations around the State.
