Facility Development

The City of Mandurah Recreation Staff are available to work with clubs on developing new facilities or upgrading existing facilities. Projects range from construction of storage sheds to installation of lighting, basic facility provision to sporting pavilion with function room. An upgrade of existing facilities may include lighting upgrades, court resurfacing, kitchen renovations. In general, clubs are required to contribute financially to any facility project.

The City of Mandurah, through municipal budget and loans to community groups, can assist clubs with facility projects. Officers are on hand to provide assistance with sourcing additional funding from external organisations.

There are a range of organisations that assist with funding. The state government produces a Grant Register which may also be of assistance.
