Cricket Australia, in partnership with State and Territory Associations, is committed to developing quality facilities that provide a welcoming environment for all participants, officials, volunteers and spectators.

The Australian Cricket Infrastructure Fund (ACIF) provides funding for community cricket facility projects, with a focus on growing participation, promoting accessibility and inclusivity and delivering upon Australian Cricket's strategic priorities.

The ACIF provides funding in the following two categories:

Minor: $500 - $15,000

Pitches, practice facility refurbishment, minor change facility/pavilion refurbishment, supporting infrastructure (e.g. shade/shelter)

Up to 50% of the total project cost

Major: $15,001 - $40,000

New practice facilities*, significant oval upgrades, sports lighting, change facility/pavilion upgrade, major refurbishments

Up to 50% of the total project cost

Applications for more than $40,000 will be considered on a case-by-case basis under the Strategic Cricket Infrastructure Funding category. In addition to aligning to ACIF funding conditions, projects under this category will generally be multi-faceted, provide a broad regional benefit for cricket and/or be recognised in an existing strategic planning document (e.g. State Cricket Infrastructure Strategy, Local Government Master Plan, Open Space Strategy etc). Contact the Infrastructure Manager (or equivalent) in your state or territory to discuss any proposals for Strategic Cricket Infrastructure Funding.
