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.

• local governments
• not-for-profit sport, recreation or community organisations

Must be incorporated.

Any project that does not achieve the aim of the fund to increase physical activity or participation in sport and active recreation will not be considered. Other funding bodies such as Lotterywest may provide funding for these facilities (e.g. arts, music, craft and passive recreation such as cards or men sheds)

Some other projects that are ineligible for funding through CSRFF include:

• projects that have commenced or will commence before approvals are announced
• development of privately-owned facilities or commercial spaces
• arts, music and craft facilities
• maintenance or operating costs of existing facilities
• purchase of land, landscaping, car parks, access roads and other infrastructure costs
• playgrounds
• bikeways or pathways
• non land-based facilities, e.g. boat launching ramps, ocean pools and marinas
• non-fixed equipment or fixed sports specific equipment (e.g. electronic targets, scoreboards)
• facilities or fixtures for the express purpose of serving alcohol
• projects that do not meet Australian Standards and National Construction Code.
