The Community Use of School Sporting Facilities Program encourages partnerships and agreements between schools and community sporting groups to better utilise existing sporting facilities.

The program, developed by the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport (CITS) and the Department of Education, will identify, expand and enhance opportunities to:

• increase access to sporting facilities for community sporting groups
• improve school sporting facilities and their useability
• support schools in making their sporting facilities accessible outside school hours without compromising student safety or educational activities
• encourage partnerships between schools and community sporting groups through community use agreements
• focus on areas of high demand for community sporting facilities.

The funding will be allocated to ensure facilities are appropriate and accessible for community sporting use.

The following organisations are eligible to apply:

• WA public primary and secondary schools, provided they partner with at least one community sporting group.
• Schools must demonstrate a need for additional resources to support community sporting group use of facilities and a commitment from local sporting group to regularly access the facility.
