Six netball clubs and associations from across South Australia have received a share in over $1.5 million in funding, thanks to the Power of Her Infrastructure and Participation Program.
Driven by the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing, the objective of the program is to provide funding for facilities, equipment and programs for girls’ and women’s sport in SA.
The following Netball SA-affiliated clubs and associations applied for funding with the support of Netball SA and have been successful:
- Arno Bay Community Sporting Association have secured a significant $750,000 to construct new female changerooms and amenities at the Arno Bay Sporting Complex
- Peake and District Sporting Club received $404,800 to resurface three netball courts with new fencing, four lighting poles and four shelters

Netball SA CEO Bronwyn Klei congratulated the clubs and associations on their successful applications.
“Sharing in $1.5 million of funding is significant for our netball clubs and associations,” Ms Klei said.
“The facility upgrades that are now possible will allow community netball in these areas to thrive and grow.
“Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our community and it’s their commitment to our sport that drives results like this.
“I’m pleased with this recognition from the government of the role netball plays in the community and the value of ensuring facilities are fit for purpose.
“Netball SA is proud to have supported the applications and I look forward to seeing the upgrades come to life.”
