Sport and Recreation Disaster Recovery Program (SRDRP)

• The Sport and Recreation Disaster Recovery Program is now open for applications.
• The program has funding available for eligible sport and active recreation organisations located in areas declared under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
• Assistance is available where Personal Hardship Assistance (Category A) or Restoration of Essential Public Assets (Category B) are listed.
• A grant of up to $5000 ex GST is available for eligible items.

Funding

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.

Up to $5,000 in funding to assist in immediate clean-up efforts. This may include:

• 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 that assist in short term clean-up of facilities
• reimbursement for the purchase of the above made from the date of the relevant disaster
• funds for repairs and replacements when this amount is lower than the premium excess set by the insurance provider
• excess coverage for insurance claims

Please note costs recovered through insurance claim payments or other sources are not eligible under this program.
