Infrastructure Project Submission
Project Identification & Prioritisation
A major focus of the updated strategy will be identifying priority infrastructure projects across Queensland. To help clubs prepare for future infrastructure opportunities, Rugby Australia’s Club Development Managers are available to provide guidance on meeting key compliance requirements, which are critical to unlocking government funding, as well as assist with project planning.
Clubs are now encouraged to submit their infrastructure projects via our new Infrastructure Project Submission Form. Submitted projects may be prioritised in the updated Strategy if the club:
- Meets legislative compliance measures under the Rugby Australia’s National Club Standards. These being:
- An active ABN and is registered as an incorporated association.
- A current constitution.
- Meets financial obligations with the ATO and Office of Fair Trading
- An active Working with Children Check (WWCC) register in line with Blue card Services
- Is registered on the Australian Sports Commission’s Game Plan portal and has completed the Infrastructure module, which is being utilised as an updated audit tool.
Clubs can contact their relevant Club Development Manager regarding any compliance requirements, or access issues surrounding the Game Plan platform.
Queensland Rugby Union acknowledges the Queensland Government for its valuable support. Financial contributions through initiatives such as the Minor Infrastructure Program, Minor Infrastructure Facilities Fund, Community and Recreational Assets Recovery and Resilience Program, and the Active Game Day Project have significantly enhanced facilities across both premier and community rugby throughout the lifespan of the 2020–2025 strategy.
