Queensland’s Round 1 of the Australian Cricket Infrastructure Fund (ACIF) for 2024-25 is officially open! The joint initiative between Cricket Australia and Queensland Cricket aims to continue the development and growth of cricket facilities across the state to allow clubs, associations, schools and council to nurture our talent, foster community engagement, and enhance the overall cricketing experience in Queensland.

Last financial year of the Australian Cricket Infrastructure Fund saw funding allocated towards a total of 50 projects across the state. Among these successful applicants were 33 from regional Queensland, aligning with Queensland Cricket’s commitment to regional Queensland. 

General Manager of Community Cricket & Infrastructure, Matt Richards said “As we open Round 1 of the Australian Cricket Infrastructure Fund, we are thrilled to support the growth of clubs, associations, councils and communities through providing the opportunity to revitalise and enhance their cricket infrastructure.

From pitch upgrades to the installation of inclusive amenities, the ACIF enables cricket clubs across Queensland to construct the facilities that grow participation, while catering to players of all ages and skill levels. We look forward to seeing the positive impact of the ACIF again this season.”

The closing date of the fund will be Friday November 8, with successful announcements to be made in the new year.
