$25 million to be invested in NSW female sport facility program

Aiming to get more women and girls playing sport, the NSW Government will invest $25 million in a female sport facility program.

The Community Female Friendly Sport Facilities and Lighting Upgrade Grants Program will see community sports facilities across NSW transformed into safer and more inclusive venues for females.

NSW Treasurer Matt Kean notes “this program will deliver female-friendly change rooms, amenities and lighting upgrades at grounds across the state to enable more women and girls to get involved in sport.”

NSW Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor said the program was a game changer for women’s sport in NSW and added “Women’s sport is going from strength to strength across our state and this program will provide safer, more inclusive community sports facilities that our female athletes need and deserve.”

The Community Female Friendly Sport Facilities and Lighting Upgrades Grant Program will open in late 2022.
