HOUSE RULES

THE Queensland Government recently released their 10 year strategy, Activate! Queensland 2019-2029.

The strategy outlines where the government will direct their spending to ensure that more Queenslanders have access to participate in physical activity.

There are currently two grant opportunities:

Activate Community Infrastructure: The vision of the 10 year sport and active recreation strategy is to get more Queenslanders moving more often by providing more opportunities, facilities and services to motivate communities. That is why the Queensland Government will continue its support of local communities by investing $52 million over three years to deliver around 150 infrastructure projects.

Submissions should demonstrate: Fit-for-purpose, universally designed infrastructure that improves accessibility and functionality of active places and spaces; increased or improved accessibility for individuals and communities to provide broader community well-being; and projects that inspire activity in high-need communities across Queensland.
