Suitable projects include building extensions and improvements; capital improvements to facilities; built-in or fixed equipment installations; or portable items where they meet best practice standards (e.g. playground equipment in kindergartens).

Under the Major Equipment Grants program, successful applicants may receive up to $20,000 in funding to help purchase equipment to maintain playing surfaces, without the need to engage contractors.
Major equipment grant funding is dollar-for-dollar, matched funding. These grants are only available to Recreation Reserve Committees of Management that can demonstrate the need for the equipment.
