Clubs in-focus program

The City’s Clubs in-focus program is dedicated to supporting the volunteers of our local sport and recreation clubs to enhance their capacity and to encourage the delivery of sport and recreation opportunities to the community. The program focuses on four main areas:

1.    Communication

2.    Education and Training

3.    Grants and Funding

4.    Recognition.

Annual Club Survey

An Annual Club Survey is conducted to ensure the City has up-to-date club details and to guide future planning of the Clubs in-focusprogram.

e-Newsletter

Communication is the best resource! The monthly e-Newsletter provides current information on City activities, club news, funding opportunities and industry news for local sport and recreation clubs.

Calendar of Events

The Calendar of Events highlights the timing of key events such as the annual Club Conference, information seminars and funding programs.

Resource Manual

As part of the education and training focus area, this resource manual has been developed to assist you in managing your club’s operations and strategic direction. This manual contains general advice about a broad range of club governance topics and has been designed to complement the Clubs in-focus information seminars and monthly e-Newsletters.

Grants and Funding

The City recognises that funding can significantly assist your club. The City offers a range of funding opportunities for clubs and individuals as well as providing assistance and advice in applying for other grants.

Club Funded Facility Upgrades

Is your club planning to upgrade or construct facilities that they currently lease or hire from the City? This process aims to streamline the application, approval and licence process for projects where the City has no funding involvement.
