NRL announces Facilities Fund
The NRL today announced a new funding program to support rugby league facilities beyond its traditional strongholds of Queensland and New South Wales.
The National Footy Facilities Fund is an initiative of the National Rugby League and assists existing and new clubs to improve the quality, availability and standard of their facilities.
A total of $3 million will be seeded into the Fund (minimum $500,000 per year over six years) and will be available to help develop local rugby league facilities in Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory.
The Fund aims to improve facilities for a variety of benefits, including increasing participation, safety and security, social inclusion and strengthening communities.
