Grant acknowledgment requirements for infrastructure projects
The State Government, through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) provides significant grant funding for sport and recreation facilities in Western Australia.
In receipt of grant funding, sport and recreation organisations must acknowledge the contribution made by DLGSC in appropriate ways.
There are a number of ways funding can be acknowledged. These include but are not limited to:
Any other signage erected promoting the project or informing the public must include the State’s logo (available from the DLGSC website) and acknowledge the contribution by the State. Signage should be sent to DLGSC for approval prior to erection.
The State may choose to provide signage upon project completion. If so, this should be displayed in a prominent place for at least 3 years. If the organisation wants to install their own signage or plaque, it must display the State’s logo and be approved by DLSGC prior to installation.
The organisation must provide reasonable assistance to the State to enable the State to conduct any research, evaluation, or promotion of or in relation to the project.
The Minister for Sport and Recreation and a representative from DLGSC must be invited to any official openings or media opportunities regarding the project. The Minister must be provided the opportunity to make a speech (if appropriate) and take part in any official procedures.
Requests can be sent directly to the Minster’s office at Minister.Templeman@dpc.wa.gov.au
