The Local Sports Infrastructure Fund is a statewide competitive Victorian Government investment program. It provides funding to develop high-quality, accessible community sport and active recreation infrastructure.
The Fund promotes partnerships between the Victorian Government, Local Government Authorities, Alpine Resorts Victoria, sporting clubs and associations, schools, educational institutions, and community organisations.
The Fund aims to increase and promote opportunities so Victorians can participate in ways that suit them and is targeted towards individuals and communities who participate less.
Funding streams include community facilities, community sports lighting and planning.
Local clubs, committees of management and organisations are advised to contact their Local Government Authority if they wish to express interest, seek support or be involved as a partner in applications to the Fund.

The Victorian Government’s Get Active Kids Voucher Program is now open for Round 11, providing eligible children and young people with up to $200 towards sport and active recreation costs. Families can use vouchers for eligible membership and registration fees, helping reduce financial barriers and support participation in community sport.
Sports Central is partnering with VicHealth and Regional Sport Victoria to Set the Standard across the Central Highlands. The initiative connects coaches and club leaders with practical resources and subsidised anti-racism training, helping sporting clubs prevent and respond to racism while creating healthier, welcoming and culturally safe environments for everyone.
