Applications are now open for the latest round of Game on, Girls grants! Funding is available to help clubs create welcoming, supportive and engaging experiences for girls aged 13-17.

Maybe it's a new program, leadership opportunity, social event, mentoring initiative or a way to make participation more accessible. Whatever your idea, this funding can help bring it to life.

The first round supported nearly 200 clubs across WA, helping young women stay connected to their sport, their teammates and their communities during the teenage years, when participation rates often decline.

Schools and sporting clubs are invited to apply for funding to create better places to play, train and compete⚽🏀

The Community Use of School Sporting Facilities Program supports upgrades to shared sporting facilities on school grounds, helping create more opportunities for students, local clubs and community members to get active close to home.

This round includes increased funding available per project and an expanded range of eligible upgrades, giving schools and clubs more flexibility to improve the facilities their communities rely on.

More than 100 projects across WA have already been supported, improving everything from playing surfaces and courts to storage, security and sporting infrastructure.

If your school and local club have been talking about a project, now is the time to put that idea into action!

🎨 Regional galleries are at the heart of our local communities and new support is helping them deliver more art, ideas and opportunities!

A range of projects across WA including at Saltwater Gallery, Southern Forest Arts and ART ON THE MOVE will help support exhibition development, artist participation, professional development and future touring opportunities across the State.

The funding will also help galleries plan for the future, explore infrastructure improvements and strengthen networks that make it easier for regional communities to access high-quality visual arts experiences closer to home.

It's great news for regional communities, helping local galleries continue to be places where people can discover new ideas, celebrate local talent and connect through arts and culture.

A new strategy is helping shape the future of what a great night out looks like in WA ✨

From live music, restaurants and festivals to evening sport, arts, culture and community events, WA's first Night-Time Economy Strategy sets a shared direction for the experiences that bring our cities, towns and regions to life after dark.

The strategy outlines how government, industry and communities can work together to support safe, inclusive and vibrant night-time activity, while creating opportunities for local businesses, jobs, tourism and cultural experiences across the State.
