Funding a new playground is one of the most common challenges facing Australian schools, councils, and community organisations. The good news is more funding pathways exist than most people realise.
Community Development Grants Programme: Funds community infrastructure including playgrounds. Check infrastructure.gov.au for current rounds. Building Better Regions Fund: Targets community infrastructure in regional Australia. NDIS: Individual participants may fund inclusive play equipment through their plans.
NSW: Stronger Country Communities Fund, Department of Education Infrastructure Grants, Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program. Victoria: Community Infrastructure Loans Scheme, Living Libraries Infrastructure Program, VSBA capital works. Queensland: Works for Queensland, Department of Education capital works. WA: Royalties for Regions, Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund. SA: Community Recreation and Sport Facilities Program.
Many councils have small grants programs for community groups. Developer contributions (Section 7.11 NSW and equivalents) fund playgrounds in new residential areas. P&C fundraising often supplements grant funding.
