Queensland’s grassroots sport and active recreation clubs are set to benefit from a new $9 million Active Gameday Projects fund to help them develop or upgrade playing fields as part of the Palaszczuk Government’s Covid-19 Economic Recovery Plan.
Sports Minister Stirling Hinchliffe says the Active Gameday Projects fund would help the economic recovery of the sport and recreation industry by investing in smaller scale infrastructure that benefits local communities.
The clubs are also encouraged to use local contractors and suppliers where possible so the funding benefits local jobs and communities.
