Sport and Recreation Disaster Recovery Program (SRDRP)

To be eligible for funding, an organisation must be located in a Local Government Area (LGA) listed as activated for either “Personal Hardship Assistance” or “Reconstruction of Essential Public Assets” on the Queensland Government’s Disaster Management website.

Where the organisation’s LGA is listed, funding will be available for application up to 3 months from the latest activation date.

To be eligible, organisations must:

- Be located in an DRFA Category A to B declared disaster affected area

- Be an incorporated local or regional not-for-profit organisation with a primary objective relating to sport and active recreation

- Demonstrate tenure over the infrastructure and have the legal right to conduct works on the site to request repair, restoration or mitigation support to infrastructure damaged by the declared natural event.

Funding can be used for immediate clean up:

- Replacement of damaged equipment that directly relates to the re-establishment of activities (including office and canteen equipment)

- Payment of services and hire costs, and purchase of equipment and tools to assist in short term clean-up of facilities

- Reimbursement for the purchase of the above made from the date of the relevant disaster

- Funds to repair or replace when this is lower than the premium excess set by the insurance provider may be eligible

- Excess coverage for insurance claims.

Opening and closing dates for applications vary, depending on location. Please refer to funding provider's website for further information.
