$4.65 million WA government funding for sports to maintain and upgrade assets as part of COVID-19 recovery

The Western Australian Government is bringing forward $4.65 million in infrastructure funding to help State Sporting Associations (SSAs) maintain their assets such as grounds and buildings.  The Western Australian Government normally allocates $2 million a year under the State Sporting Infrastructure Fund.

The funding is being provided to SSAs that operate venues capable of hosting state and national level sporting competition as identified in the State Sporting Infrastructure Plan.

One of the beneficiaries will be the Eight Ball Federation's facility in Queens Park which will be allocated $100,000 for infrastructure maintenance and improvement.
Other projects to be funded include:

• $1.6 million to Hockey WA for the Perth Hockey Stadium turf replacement program and other works;
• $650,000 to the Whiteman Park International Shooting Complex for various maintenance projects to support the clubs based at the venue; and
• $450,000 to Baseball WA for projects at Baseball Park.  Read more
