REPORT PURPOSE
To consider two (2) applications to the State Government 2010 – 2011 Community Sports
and Recreation Facilities Fund.
Background
The State Government through the Department of Sport and Recreation Community Sport
and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) provide funding to community organisations and
local governments to develop sport and recreation infrastructure whereby up to one third of
the project cost may be applied for.
Recent changes to the CSRFF guidelines now allow for applications to request up to 50%
of the project costs as a development bonus. The development bonus will be assessed
against the following criteria:
Location - Regional, Remote or Growth areas
Co-location of sports and facilities
Sustainability Initiatives - Water Saving, Energy reduction etc
Increased Participation - New users, increased participation from existing users,
special interest groups participation etc.
As part of the application process, all applications must be endorsed and prioritised by the
Local Government Authority prior to being forwarded to the Department of Sport and
Recreation.
Two applications have been prepared for the current round on funding, both from the Shire
of Roebourne. No community organisations have submitted applications this round.
1. Shire of Roebourne – Redevelopment of the Roebourne Aquatic Centre.
2. Shire of Roebourne – Construction of two (2) x permanent diamond sport fields at
Bulgarra Sporting Complex.
Council is now required to assess each application against the CSRFF guidelines,
determine its contribution, if any, to each project and forward a prioritised list to the
Department of Sport and Recreation with comment for assessment.
