The challenge

The club had been saving hard for many years, but in a small regional town, building funds are slow to grow. Securing a large grant takes far more than a good application; it starts well before the funding round ever opens.

What was delivered

  • Assisted the club with lobbying local, State and Federal members, so the right people knew who they were and what they were trying to build for their community
  • Supported the club hosting ministerial visits and provided the presentation taken to Parliament through the local member
  • Expression of interest, which saw the club invited to submit a full application for the Queensland Government's Games On! Grassroots Infrastructure Program
  • Full grant application and supporting documentation that secured $1.18M for the club
  • Value management of the design and construction methodology with a local builder, so it could be built within the available funding
  • Step-by-step guidance for the club, with all the tools and supporting documentation they needed to deliver the project successfully
