Wyndham City is proud to announce a $3.75 million investment in local sport and active recreation through its new Wyndham Active Revitalisation Program, to be delivered across the 2025/26 and 2026/27 financial years.
Applications for the Wyndham Active Revitalisation Program are now open to not-for-profit sporting clubs or community organisations who have held a lease, licence or annual hire agreement at a Wyndham City Council sporting facility (outdoor or indoor) in the last 12 months.
Eligible sporting clubs and community groups can submit one small project (up to $50,000 excluding GST) and one medium project (up to $200,000 excluding GST) for consideration.
Examples of eligible projects include:
• Training facilities (cricket nets, batting cages, etc.)
• Turf cricket wickets (subject to turf wicket allocation process)
• Open space improvements, including behind goal netting, scoreboards, booking/access systems, portable goals, seating, storage, CCTV or other projects assessed on a case-by-case basis
• Minor kitchen refurbishments
• Major sports equipment
Operational expenses, uniforms and minor sports equipment cannot be funded through this program.
Wyndham City Mayor, Cr Mia Shaw, said successful projects would be funded and delivered by Council between December 2025 and June 2027.
"This program is a strategic investment in Wyndham's sporting future - supporting grassroots clubs to thrive, grow, and inspire active living across our community," Cr Shaw said.
"These sporting infrastructure upgrades will help local clubs become more inclusive, better equipped, and more sustainable for years to come."
Wyndham City Deputy Mayor, Cr Josh Gilligan, added: "By investing in upgrades like training facilities, cricket wickets, equipment storage, scoreboards, and even kitchen refurbishments, we're helping create sporting facilities that are better equipped to support local participation in sport."
"Our clubs are the heart of the community - they foster teamwork, belonging, and health. This program helps make sure they're equipped to continue doing that long into the future."
Applications for the Wyndham Active Revitalisation Program will close at midnight on 17 September 2025.
