$1.65 million to keep WA’s sport and recreation clubs COVID-safe
The State Government has announced $1.65 million in funding for COVID-related cleaning and personal hygiene costs at local community sport and active recreation clubs.
The COVID-19 Cleaning Subsidy, supported by Lotterywest, will help keep hundreds of thousands of Western Australians safe and healthy so they can continue to take part in sport and active recreation with minimal disruption.
Clubs that own, operate or lease a facility (such as clubrooms) can apply for a one-off $2000 grant, while clubs that do not operate a facility can apply for a one-off grant of $500.
Funding may be used for costs associated with cleaning a facility such as buying cleaning products or hiring cleaners; purchasing personal hygiene products such as hand sanitiser, disposable face masks, and rapid antigen tests; and for the printing of COVID-19 related signage.
The COVID-19 Cleaning Subsidy is part of the Lotterywest COVID-19 Relief Fund under the State Government's response and recovery efforts to help keep Western Australia safe.
