The West Australian Football Commission (WAFC) with the support of the AFL has developed the WA Football Facilities Fund, to create safer and more inclusive spaces for community sport venues where football is played.
Over the past two years, the Fund has committed $4 million to more than 100 projects. These investments signify a commitment to supporting communities and will contribute towards delivering over $200 million worth of infrastructure.
The WAFC identifies key strategic priorities that underscore its dedication to meeting the evolving demands of the sporting landscape, including gender neutral amenities, upgraded lighting systems, and state-of-the-art playing surfaces.
This vision is highlighted across our strategic documents such as the All Abilities & Inclusion Strategy, the Women’s Footy Vision Strategy 2021-2030, and the WAFC Facilities Strategy 2020-2030, reflecting a holistic commitment to progress and inclusivity.
"Through the WA Football Facilities Fund, we are not just building infrastructure; we are building communities, promoting inclusivity, and nurturing the next generation of football stars," WAFC CEO Michael Roberts said.
"Together, with the support of our partners and stakeholders, we are shaping a future where football thrives, and everyone has a place to call home on and off the field."
Affiliated clubs, local governments, and umpire associations who are associated with WAFC affiliated competitions can apply for funding of 10% of total project cost, up to $50,000.
Applications open Friday 5th April and close 24th May 2024.
