Victorian regional football and netball clubs can rejuvenate their sports facilities with the launch of the next round of the Country Football and Netball Program (CFNP).

In partnership with Sport and Recreation Victoria, the program is aimed at helping country football and netball clubs in rural, regional and outer metropolitan councils, who may be struggling with outdated, overused or non-compliant facilities.

Grants of up to $100,000 are available for projects that improve participation outcomes through facility improvements such as new or redeveloped change rooms, installation of improved turf, drainage and irrigation, new or upgraded netball courts or installation of sports lighting for courts or ovals.

Clubs seeking support or guidance should contact their local AFL Region Commission or AFL Victoria’s Facilities and Planning Manager Amber Koster via This email address is being protected from spambots.

Clubs, associations and umpiring organisations should also express their interest in applying for funding to their local council.
