The Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) exemplifies the Western Australian Government's commitment to the development of sustainable infrastructure for sport and recreation across the State.
The WA Government is committed to investing in community sporting and infrastructure projects that enliven our communities.
We are reviewing the timing of the next rounds of the Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) and Club Night Lights Program (CNLP).
Under our new PlayOn WA: 2030 by 2030 initiative the WA Government will deliver over 2,030 new or upgraded pieces of sporting infrastructure by 2030 and this review aims to bolster the effectiveness of our funding programs.
PlayOn WA is supported by $332 million in funding for sports infrastructure projects in the 2025-2026 State Budget.
The purpose of the program is to provide Western Australian Government financial assistance to community groups and local government authorities to develop basic infrastructure for sport and recreation.
The program aims to increase participation in sport and recreation, with an emphasis on physical activity, through rational development of sustainable, good quality, well-designed and well-utilised facilities.
Through CSRFF, the State Government will invest annually in the development of high-quality physical environments in which people can enjoy sport and recreation.
There is $20 million available for allocation in the 2025/2026 funding round.
