A total of $1,779,981 has been awarded through the State Government's Sport and Recreation Events Funding Program, helping organisations plan and deliver a wide range of competitions, tournaments and mass participation events across metropolitan and regional WA.
The program supports sport and active recreation organisations to deliver events that attract participants and spectators, encourage more Western Australians to get active and strengthen local communities.
Funded events range from elite competitions such as the 2026 Yonex Australian National Team and Individual Badminton Championships and the AusCycling Road National Championships, through to major participation events including Ship to Shore in Port Hedland, Rottnest Running Festival and the Mighty Jarrah Trail Run.
By supporting events across the State, the program helps bring visitors to regional towns, boost local economies and provide opportunities for communities to come together through sport and recreation.
This investment forms part of the Government's ongoing commitment to supporting active lifestyles and connected communities.
