When thinking about the ‘value proposition’ of sports clubs, it’s critical to strike a balance between keeping sport accessible, given that it is such a prominent part of Australian culture, and keeping clubs sustainable.
It’s not surprising that we have seen a rise in multi-user, shared or multi-purpose facilities. Multi-use facilities provide a feasible solution when the availability of greenspace is limited, when clubs have smaller membership numbers or distinct playing times, or when resources are limited. However, we have found that there is an expectation from some clubs that the Council will provide each club with their very own exclusive clubhouse and activity space. The dissonance between expectations and feasibility can stifle development of new facilities.

Navigating the world of grants can often feel like an overwhelming and complex task for Councils. Between identifying suitable grants and ensuring a successful application, the process can sometimes be fraught with stress and uncertainty. Fortunately, CPR Group helps to streamline this process and make grant applications a breeze.
CPR Group assists Councils in identifying grants that align with their specific projects. We understand that every Council has unique needs and priorities. That’s why we tailor our grant search to align with your projects, ensuring that you are only pursuing funding opportunities that fit your objectives.
Our team also digs deeper to uncover smaller community grants that Councils can promote within their network. By doing so, we help you encourage not-for-profits and smaller organisations to tap into funding opportunities that they might otherwise miss. This approach supports your Council’s projects and boosts the overall funding landscape in your community.
Once we've identified the right grants for your Council, CPR Group can take the stress out of the application process. Our experienced team can help you craft compelling grant applications that stand out from the competition. With over 27 years of experience and a proven track record of securing over $100 million in funding, we know what it takes to create successful applications.
At CPR Group, we believe in being grant-ready before the search begins. We encourage Councils to have all essential plans and documents—such as master plans, strategic plans and necessary approvals—prepared and up to date. This proactive approach positions you for success and speeds up the application process when the right grant opportunity arises.
Effective communication is at the heart of our service. When we find a suitable grant, we share all relevant information with your Council in a clear and concise manner. This ensures that you understand the grant requirements and can make informed decisions. Our goal is to support you every step of the way, from grant discovery to application submission.
By partnering with CPR Group, Councils can take the stress out of finding and applying for grants. With our expertise and commitment to clear communication, we make the grant process as smooth and successful as possible.
