Queensland Government’s new ‘Games On!’ program to support hundreds of grassroots clubs

The Queensland Government’s new ‘Games On!’ program is aimed at supporting upgrades for hundreds of grassroots community clubs as part of the 2032 Delivery Plan.

More than 100 community sporting clubs across the State have already been identified for planned upgrades to fields, pitches, courts and clubhouses, with more to come.

The $250 million Games On! investment is in addition to the $7.1 billion major venue infrastructure envelope and will deliver a major boost to community facilities. 

QLD Premier David Crisafulli said Games On! was an investment in Queensland’s future, not only to 2032, but beyond and noted “In the lead-up to 2032, we’ll invest in local sporting clubs so they can continue being the beating heart of Queensland communities.

“Our next generation of Olympians and Paralympians rely on grassroots clubs to hone their talents, and with Games On! they have every chance of reaching their potential.

“Our commitment is for the Games to deliver a legacy for all communities across Queensland, long after the Closing Ceremony, and with Games On! we do just that.”

Minister for Sport and Racing and Minister for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tim Mander added “The Games On! program will inspire more Queenslanders of all ages to be more active, engage with their community, and participate in sport.

“From Cairns to Currumbin, Longreach to Mount Isa, every corner of Queensland will benefit from our Games On! program.

“We want to make Queensland the undeniable home of Australian sport and this program will play a key role in our plan to achieve that.”
